I received this book through the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. At first, I was somewhat skeptical about this one. I wasn’t sure that a book based on a YouTube series was going to be any good. However, after viewing reviews from some of my favorite authors (Wes Craven and R.L. Stein) I decided to give it a go. I’ve got to say that I’m so happy that I decided to read this book. It was great! The plot was well developed and there were virtually no grammatical or spelling errors. While I don’t agree with the reviews that this book was scary, it was definitely filled with thrills and suspense. The use of more descriptive language would have evoked more raw fear. Still, it was most definitely creepy. As each scene unfolded the general feeling of creepiness grew. The character development was perfect.
All the characters echoed and added to the eeriness of the story. I would not have been surprised to learn that every person encountered by Sunshine was a ghost a la Sixth Sense. The descriptions of the characters were true, however, their unexpected lack of affect threw me for a loop. This may just be me, but some of the experiences she faced (even the benign) would have had me screaming, running for the hills. And yet, everyone (except Sunshine, of course) was very composed through all the craziness.
The book ends in a scene that I hope means there will be another book; which I will anxiously await. I would recommend this book to all fans of this genre.
