#bookreview Aw man, what is it with me and the horror books I've been reading lately? Either I am becoming totally numb and jaded to the genre or my expectations are just set ridiculously high. Add this one to the #meh pile. A retelling of Rapunzel but make it horror. Only... it's not that horrorifying. True, there is a witch in the woods and some creepy cat things. There are some kidnapped children. There's some hair eating and some cannibalism. All the ingredients of a really good scary story were there but something about the writing style just fell flat for me. I felt like I was reading a book geared more towards a YA audience than adults. The gory parts weren't gory enough. The jump scares felt more like peek-a-boo scenes. There was no real dread or tension. I know I will likely be in the minority here, and I'm ok with that. Looking forward to seeing what you think if you get your hands on this one! #arc #reviewcopy #reviewsofinstagram #book #bookish #booksta #booksig #Bookstagram #genxbookstagrammers #fiction #horrorish #horror #nothorrorenough #witchywitch #cannibalism #eatmyhair #longlocks #fairytaleretelling #rapunzel #meh #bookworm #bookaddict #booknerd #intheminority #everyonewillloveit #forthcoming
