Paranormal/borrowed
So this is listed as a horror. Someone called it pink horror. But yeah there is no horror, it is more a supernatural story.
Annie decides to make a new life as her boyfriend leaves her. This takes her to a teaching job in a small town. There she meets a Fabolous woman! Everyone loves this woman....or do they?
Her and Sophie becomes great friends. Sophie in her big empty house. Spiders. Strange things happening.
But this was about Sophie finding herself and being happy what she finds.
I liked it. It was another easy fun read
All her life, Annie has played it nice and safe. After being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Annie seeks a fresh start. She accepts a teaching position that moves her from Manhattan to a small village upstate. She’s stunned by how perfect and picturesque the town is. The people are all friendly and warm. Her new apartment is dreamy too, minus the oddly persistent spider infestation.
Then Annie meets Sophie. Beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie, who takes a special interest in Annie, who wants to be her friend. More importantly, she wants Annie to stop apologizing and start living for herself. That’s how Sophie lives. Annie can’t help but gravitate toward the self-possessed Sophie, wanting to spend more and more time with her, despite the fact that the rest of the townsfolk seem…a little afraid of her. And like, okay. There are some things. Sophie’s appearance is uncanny and ageless, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power…but she couldn’t be…could she?
Sounds good. I like these type of paranormal books. Definitely doesn't sound like horror.
ReplyDeleteYeah never scary, so def just paranormal
DeleteI have this one on my TBR list along with several other of Harrison's books. I really liked Such Sharp Teeth and keep meaning to read more of her books. Glad to hear you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteOhhh that one sounds interesting! I could def read more
DeleteOoh I think I'd like this one too. Did you read The Return?
ReplyDeleteNope, this was my first by her :D
DeleteI read Play Nice by her and it was strange. I wasn't thrilled with some parts.
ReplyDeleteI took a look, I wonder if that was a tad bit more horror than this
DeleteI just figured out it was another book(The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry. Hated it) I was thinking of that I thought was strange and had mixed feelings! Play Nice was horror and I did enjoy it. It had some humor, but was creeeeepppyyy and honestly freaked me out!!
DeleteOhh creepy you say, I am intrigued now
DeleteGuess this is an example to me of once in a while glancing past the 'horror' label to see if I might actually like the book.
ReplyDeleteYes! I have made quite success streak lately with just trying
DeletePink horror? I keep learning about new subgenres LMAO
ReplyDeleteHaha, well someone said it. But yes to me just supernatural
DeleteI've never heard the term pink horror before.
ReplyDeleteNeither had I :D
DeleteHah. I'd be disappointed if it promises something and delivers something else. I guess it's a good thing it was a good read then.
ReplyDeleteI just take these horror books as they come cos I am a scarredy cat
DeletePink Horror? I take offense to that term! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHaha, well it did not quite hit the mark.
