This might be nitpicky of me but I cant stand when authors make characters in their books any type of influencer. It always reads as out of touch and ‘how do you do fellow kids’. Everytime she talked about her website or god forbid her blog (??? in the 2020s are you crazy) it took me out of the plot so badly. Maybe I’m too chronically online but these type of characters never work for me. The internet is just too fast changing especially when social media and online culture is concerned, it always comes off as dated. That wasn’t the only issue I had with the main character Sarah either but at least her dislikability seemed to have been mostly intentional. What bothered me the most about this was the fact that the initial murder that made blackwood house a ‘murder house’ couldnt be less important to the plot, to the point that i’d straight up forget about it until a character would offhandedly mention it. While the buildup of suspense worked decently well the ending was even more of a let down for it. I just wanted it to be over with towards the end. Not for me to say the least.
