Hidden Pictures

Unpopular opinion alert. Another “horror” I had high hopes for due to all the hype surrounding it. This is not horror. Yes there is a ghost story but this is more supernatural suspense/mystery than anything else. So that right there was a huge disappointment.

Hidden Pictures starts off AMAZING. There was Mallory, who I loved and was rooting for. There was the beginning of what could be a haunting, so potential for scary. On top of that a mystery surrounding the cottage that Mallory lived in. I was ALL IN...until about 85-ish% through...

Then the author completely lost me. At this point, we get smacked in the face with an entirely different aspect of where this looked to be going. Let's just say eyes rolled and sighs ensued. All the momentum and love for this one (despite not being a horror novel) dissipated. The ending and twists were completely unbelievable, didn't make much sense given the story that had already played out, and I was baffled. It felt rushed and almost like someone else finished this book off.

I won't say specifics so I don't spoil this for any who want to read it. I will just leave it at how disappointed I am in what could have been a 5 star read. Instead, it went from a much loved Pumpkin Spice Latte to soured milk. This isn't one I will recommend, but if you are so inclined...take a chance and see where you fall overall.
