This book is an absolute disaster.
Vibe
It started off quite good, with a mysterious vibe (not sth I’d read personally but I’m looking for sth new and I can understand how ppl can like this book).I really like how things were described when Jacob found his granddad dead in the woods. It’s really spooky and I like it. But from then on to near the ending, it completely lost that vibe and it went all cheerful and colorful. The ending was a little darker but it didn’t live up to the vibe at the beginning.
Plot and world building
The plot is quite questionable and the pace is inconsistent
Characters
Jacob
I first thought he was a man in his late 20s even tho he’s 15. The way he thinks and acts and talks is not how teenagers usually talk. I’m aware that some teenagers are more serious/mature than others but he isn’t that.
He then went on toDate his granddad’s ex and snogged her even tho he knows it’s practically incest
He’s quite thick for someone who is supposed to be smart. His plans are really poorly thought out and he really has no other talent thanseeing monsters
Emma
I do not like her at all. She’s 88. I know that she’s in this time loop thingy but she just continued to date her ex’s grandson which is just weird and their relationship seems really toxic too.
