Out of the Darkness by Heather Graham
Published 01/16/2018
A
free physical copy from Bookish First in exchange for an honest review.
Out
of the Darkness was my second Heather Graham book, and it might just be my
last. Though it was the third book in The Finnegan Connection series I do not
feel like I missed out on anything, it can be read as a standalone.
Out
of the Darkness is about a group of kids that are faced with the most
horrifying Halloween house in history. A serial killer has his fun but they
manage to escape. Then a decade later (why is it always a decade later…) one of
them is brutally murdered and the terrifying Halloween night is becoming their
daily nightmare again.
I
really enjoyed the overall murder/mystery/serial killer plot of this story. The
twists were great. It is Heather Graham’s writing style that just killed this
book for me. I felt like she couldn’t trust me as a reader to remember anything
that happened, even if it was only a couple paragraphs ago. It is hard to
explain… almost like she was summarizing and paraphrasing the plot as she went
to fill space before she could get back to the action again.
Overall
the book was entertaining, it was an easy and super quick read. For romance
fans its pretty dark and gruesome but there are “romantic” scenes peppered
throughout.

ReplyDeleteThe overall plot was good! Just could not agree with the writing style.
