Shadow in the Flame

After a truly shocking start to the story, I found the style and content slowed down as the author introduced a varied group of characters who I thought were fleshed out very well. After a slow couple of chapters, I found this story difficult to leave with the tension growing within the house. You get a real sense of desperation with some truly horrifying scenes which left me slightly unsettled at times. The imaginary and description left very little to the imagination. My only criticism would be that the main villain of the story is obvious from the outset, and I think I would have preferred more mystery into the cause of the deaths in the house. Despite this this ending is very traumatic and even though the villain can be easily guessed doesn't take away from the shocking ending. This is a must for anyone to read.
