Malorie by Josh Malerman

Malorie by Josh Malerman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

6/10 (B-) Good

I wanted the same creepy and exciting feelings I had during Bird Box to be present here, and they just weren’t there. I enjoyed the continued story and learning about Malorie, it was unique and held my interest but BiRD BOX was so much better. There was only one moment in the story where I felt creeps - this is what I want from a horror novel throughout.

The Last Sister by Kendra Elliot

The Last Sister by Kendra Elliot
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

5/10 (C+) ABOVE AVERAGE

This was your typical romantic suspense. I enjoyed the story and the characters but overall my feelings were on the mild side. I don’t think I will read on in the series, unless it’s for a buddy or group read. It was a fast and easy read but as soon as I was done the story, I quickly forgot much of the plot and characters.

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I read THE SHINING (5 stars) last month and was so excited to grab this book and continue Danny’s story.

I read 30% and just had to stop. I was just so disappointed in this story. At 30% in I didn’t care about any of the characters and the 3 story lines were so obscure I didn’t care to see how they converged and ended. I am not one to stop a story midread but it took me a week to get to 30% and I just couldn’t continue.

It didn’t even feel like a Stephen King novel to me.

I struggled with if I should rate the book or not since I did not finish it, but ultimately decided to rate it because I spent a week attempting to read and care about this story. I do not hold this one against King and I will continue to read his stories as he is the master of horror. But I know that not every book he reads is going to be 5 Stars for me - and that's ok.
