I’m not sure to what extent this was just bad or just not for me. I found the story to be terribly slow and extremely silly. McMahon’s prior novels have been much more successful creating an eerie, mystical, and potentially believable story(if you have a vivid imagination). Having dragged the story out too long, I then felt the ending was rushed. I’m hoping her next effort is more successful as I’ve very much enjoyed her previous books.
