A free physical copy from Bookish First in exchange for an honest review.
Out of the Darkness was my second Heather Graham book, and it might just be my last. Though it was the third book in The Finnegan Connection series I do not feel like I missed out on anything, it can be read as a standalone.
Out of the Darkness is about a group of kids that are faced with the most horrifying Halloween house in history. A serial killer has his fun but they manage to escape. Then a decade later (why is it always a decade later…) one of them is brutally murdered and the terrifying Halloween night is becoming their daily nightmare again.
I really enjoyed the overall murder/mystery/serial killer plot of this story. The twists were great. It is Heather Graham’s writing style that just killed this book for me. I felt like she couldn’t trust me as a reader to remember anything that happened, even if it was only a couple paragraphs ago. It is hard to explain… almost like she was summarizing and paraphrasing the plot as she went to fill space before she could get back to the action again.
Overall the book was entertaining, it was an easy and super quick read. For romance fans its pretty dark and gruesome but there are “romantic” scenes peppered throughout.
