Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book is a great mystery/thriller. Creepy at times and a little complex, but very fun it you like scary stuff! It has some good historical-type content as well. ( )Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN AND I WANT TO READ MORE FROM THIS AUTHOR!! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I was very excited to read this book. Unfortunately that excitement died within the first chapter, where the author provided a true example of telling rather than showing. In the succeeding chapters, telling continued to be the rule rather than the exception. In addition, the individual characters were two-dimensional, with no feeling of connection between any of them. The lead up to the final confrontation was both slow and boring. To give credit where it's due, that final confrontation was both gross and gripping. However, that does not excuse the faults of the book as a whole. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I love this genre, and I love this book! It is so suspenseful and exciting. I love a good ghost story and this book fits the bill. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. 3.5 starsStephen has just become a new professor of Paranormal Studies at a university he used to attend. He had been in a relationship with Evelyn, who is still a student there. Stephen is called upon to be the university rep for the paranormal club that Evelyn is a part of and they are lucky enough (along with two other students from the club) to be able to investigate a haunting at a local (now deserted) house, Crimshaw Manor. During its history, Benjamin Crimshaw lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, and their young son Jonathan. After a bad storm, Elizabeth was found hanging, but there was never any sign of Benjamin or Jonathan. There was more on the technical equipment/aspects of the investigation than I’m really interested in, but I appreciate that it was described so readers can get a better idea. I don’t really believe in ghosts, though I love the stories of them! Even still, they can creep me out. And this one did, at times; there were some creepy things going on! I wasn’t crazy about Stephen and Evelyn’s relationship (picked up from a previous time), with Stephen now being a professor and Evelyn a student (though not Stephen’s student). I didn’t find the “relationship” very interesting, even without the professor/student dynamic. I did like Elizabeth’s story and how the place came to be haunted. The end did indicate that there might be a sequel, and I liked it enough to read the next book if there is one. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
