The Vanishing by Wendy Webb
1.0
remind me to not be fooled by books with pretty covers again.
this was awful. the writing was a joke.
here is what I think: a decent gothic novel should not have multiple twists and turns EVERY CHAPTER to keep the reader interested. look at any great gothic novel and you'll see they accomplish much more with just one big twist toward the end. while reading it, there was a moment when I thought to myself that this was painfully unrewarding and a complete waste of my time. I don't recommend this book to anyone. pick up rebecca or the haunting of hill house instead.
