It was okay. Started out really well, kept my attention but once the reveals start, I just thought meh. I'm not a fan of generational madness and revenge plots that happen because how dare the villain actually get their comeuppance? They should not have had to suffer because they killed someone, so let's convince the gullible to believe it was all lies and let's kill some more.
Oh, good grief.
I read this because it's Kelley Armstrong and the next Rip Through Time novel is almost out, and I genuinely enjoy her books. I just don't seem to connect much with her one-off horror releases. Not that I'll avoid them in the future. There's a release coming up soon that I have pre-ordered, and I will try again to see if I love that book, but you know, my expectations aren't that high but fingers crossed to be pleasantly surprised.
Maybe horror stories just aren't for me anymore? The villain always ends up some lame idiot who thinks they did no wrong and can't let go of the fact that they are the bad guy and not the hero they are in their heads. By the end of the books, I want the realization to sink in that they are F'ed up in the head and going away for a long time but it's never that ending and I get tired and bored of their wheels spinning, repeating their claims.
Phooey and bah humbug, apparently.
