The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn

 


🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Screaming Suspense" Stars


Creature Action!

A small taste of what lies within:

A brother and sister (Ryan and Jane) along with a couple or so friends get together to go stay in a cabin out in the woods that use to belong to Ryan and Jane's father to have some fun, but what they do not except is that "something" watches them from the woods and it is hungry for some fresh blood!

That is about all I can give on a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more about this story then you will need to read the book!

Thoughts:

There was a little bit of action in the beginning of the book and then there is a slow buildup of suspense that took me awhile to find out what was going on and to find out what kind of creature was waiting within the story. 

After the 50% mark though there is more of a revelation of the creature and then the story starts to slowly escalate driving the suspense up to full throttle which eventually leads to a blood and gore fest. 

The only thing I wasn't too happy with were the characters - they were constantly doing stupid things and it was like watching those horror movies where instead of the characters running away from danger they run straight into it. That is how the characters were in this book and this is the reason for the story not being a five star read. I would have liked for at least some of the characters to have had a lick of sense but alas there was none with them. This is my third book by this author and I have a few more I want to read by her in the future.
