I liked the characters and the storyline, but the ending was awful. It was like the author got tired of writing and just threw together anything for an ending. ( ) I like a good horror book every so often, mostly in October. So I had recieved this one from Netgalley and thought it would be the perfect time for it. Sarah and Max have decided since they had sex and Sarah became pregnant that they will try and have a go of it and rent out a townhouse in North Hollywood. Sarah's character is about the most whiney, self centered person I've seen in a book in a while. Nothing makes this woman happy. Not being pregnant, not her job as a writer, and not even her friends. She decides and older man in the complex is a creeper and she completely goes into watching him mode. This was an ok book until about half way through then began to feel rushed and all over the place. P>S. If you are squeamish it would probably be safe to say to stay away from this book but then I think I'll go with if you have a thinking brain I would probably stay away from it. This novel was pitched to me as a horror. I enjoy a good horror novel. I've read Stephen King, Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, Dean Koontz, R. L. Stein, Poe (for a classic). Some I love more than others. But a good horror novel has a few key characteristics. [This is my opinion only, and others may or may not agree with me]. One - believability. I don't mean in real life. I mean in the course of the story. Are these events believable? If not, I find myself reading, but not invested in the story. Two - I have to like at least one of the characters. Preferably not someone who dies in the first quarter of the book. Three - This relates back to the first point, but it needs to be scary, and not just gory/gross. Full Review http://shirleykcarter.blogspot.com/2011/06/townhouse-brian-rowe.html If you didn't know already, I'm a huge fan of horror. I go crazy for new horror stories. This book was certainly full of what I love most about horror. It was so chocked full of suspense it was one I couldn't put down at times. I was entirely engrossed it was so gripping. It was surprising too. The villain wasn't clear until actually revealed which kept me guessing which I always like in a story. Another thing I always like in a story - flawed protagonists! Sara has her faults and she's not exactly likeable at the start but that soon changes throughout the novel. I also appreciate authors of horror novels that aren't afraid of throwing as much gore at readers as possible. This is definitely not a read to finish whilst eating or just before sleeping! Overall I recommend this book to fans of the horror genre. It was a great read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Twenty-four-year-old Sara Crimson isn't happy that she's moving into a shady apartment complex with a man she barely knows. But after discovering she's pregnant with her first child, she decides to try to make a relationship work with the baby daddy Max, an up-and-coming talent agent, who proposes marriage and asks her to move in with him. An aspiring novelist, Sara at first is elated with the additional free time she has to focus on her writing. But as the days turn to weeks, she starts to suspect that something peculiar is happening in the Executive Townhouses of North Hollywood, California. People start disappearing, strange noises echo down the corridor, and an old, creepy tenant finds his entertainment value in staring at her from afar.But what Sara doesn't know is that the hidden horrors that lie inside the apartment complex are far worse than anything her overactive imagination could have ever conceived...
