Title: The Whispering Dark

Author: Kelly Andrew

ISBN: 9781338809473

 

Thoughts: There was an interesting concept here, but the story was riddled with holes, either hastily patched or just plain ignored, and the characters were unevenly developed and often lacking likeable features.

Oak Avenue

 

Title: Oak Avenue

Thoughts: Good bones for a creepy, haunted house story, but it really needs to be developed into a full-length novel.

Beasts of a Little Land

 

Title: Beasts of a Little Land

Author: Juhae Kim

Publisher: HarperAudio

 
ISBN: 9780063093607

 

Thoughts: With a story that takes place overtime, there are often many characters who are somewhat difficult to keep straight, as happens here, but what made it a little more difficult were some of the creative choices the author made that I could not follow as I could not see the reason, which may be because I was listening to the audiobook.
