Find Them

The main character had a Tesla. That should've been my first hint to dnf it. A lot of other reasons came afterwards. But I carried on because I did want to know what happened.

Nora finds out she's pregnant early on in the book but she only mentions it when it's relevant? She knows she's in a horror book but half the time she acts like she's not. Scary things happen and I think she'll mention the baby or try to get an appointment because these things are important in the first trimester? So I kept thinking that even though I'm not usually a fan of pregnancies in books. At the very least be consistent with mentioning it? The ghost makes her fall on the floor and hurt her ankle (or other things). I'm like the only one thinking about the baby! It's like she's going on rollercoasters and I'm there waving a sign that says “Think of the baby!”

I didn't like any of the characters at all. Not even the pregnant character. The farm animals were probably the ones I liked the most. I wanted to figure out the mystery and the ghosts so I just forced myself to keep reading. I hoped it would get better – it did not.

There were too many short sentences and most of the time it didn't fit the rest of the writing. There were two sentences that would've worked perfectly fine as one. I suppose the writing was a (tiny) bit atmospheric but it was all brought down by the sentences and my dislike of the characters.

The husband is your typical horror movie husband. “No sweetie you're imagining it.” At least he didn't say it was the pregnancy when she said “xx weird things happened”. He also said “oh you're still tense from your assault” that happened a year ago. She's had therapy and has coping mechanisms but that's most certainly not the reassuring thing to SAY.

We had some old diary entries included from the family who lived there on the property in the 1950's and I thought that writing was also odd. Two girls, 16/17 I think, the one's diary's entries was okay and the other just felt too modern?

The action and the climax was very weak. I've watched a ton of haunted houses and ghosts movies and it just all felt so lackluster.
