Seed

i really thought ania ahlborn would be a favorite horror author of mine but its looking like i just dont click with her... of the two books i've read of hers now, her writing itself leaves a lot to be desired. i can deal with a certain extent of amateurish writing if the end product is interesting and thrilling, but her books are unsatisfying in a way that makes the bad writing even worse. seed is worse than brother in that aspect. so many unneeded and contrived similes thrown around every other sentence. the word smirk was used so much i wondered if i was reading a wattpad romance novel and not a published horror book. i found the story of seed more intriguing than brother, and it did build atmosphere slowly until I thought we'd stumble into a genuinely fun climax that would make the whole thing worth it but instead what tension there is totally flatlines and i was left checking the page count as i got closer and closer to the final page wondering to myself ..is this really it? this is all thats going to happen? and yeah! it was!
