No Good

Last night, as I was unable to sleep, I finished reading this book called The Messenger by Jan Burke around 4:30 a.m. It was supposed to be a horror novel. It was not. Even late at night and all alone it didn't even give me a slight chill. And while I don't scare often or easily, I should have at least gotten a moment of at least thinking that this was creepy. But I did not. And the passionate sex scene that I kept getting teased with never appeared. Disappointing book indeed. Entertaining and easy which is what I was in the mood for, but the characters were very underdeveloped and the plot extremely predictable. Even the moments of foreshadowing were completely predictable. No shadowing, just giving away the ending. I doubt I will be reading anything else by her.
