I read pretty much anything, from fantasy (City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett) to romance (Bared to You by Sylvia Day) to classics (Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad).  The only genres I don't read are self-help and comic books/graphic novels.

Wither (Wendy Ward, #1) by J.G. Passarella

Wither - J.G. Passarella

8/6 - 3.5 stars. A pretty good supernatural thriller, not horror although I think it was trying to be. I don't know if it's my low terrifibility or that this just wasn't as terrifying as Passarella (a pseudonym for John Passarella and Joseph Gangemi) wanted it to be, but I didn't find the plot particularly scary. The only memorably scary moment was when there was an unknown entity (who turned out to be one of the three evil witches from the town's witch trial days) making its way across Abby's roof near the beginning of the book, I had a definite feeling of dread during that scene. Unfortunately, the rest of the scary scenes didn't quite create the same level of dread. Wendy was a very likeable heroine and I liked her interactions with Alex, I wasn't as much of a fan of Frankie whose man-hating attitudes were a bit OTT for me. When I logged on this morning to review Wither I learned that it's the first book in a trilogy. I am quite surprised that there are two more books as I felt that Wither was a complete story in and of itself, no further words necessary. I may or may not read them, mostly depending on whether I can get my hands on them.
