Whispers of Apple Blossoms by Brett Mitchell Kent
4.0
I got an ARC for this one from Book Sirens and I was concerned at first that it would be a DNF. I'll say why later but...instead of being a DNF I read it in about 6 days.
This novel does what I love in a book, and that is it makes you FEEL for your characters. A story about love, loss, and haunted house plants that had me bawling by the end of it. When a horror novel makes me cry you know its good.
This is not a book full of blood and gore, but a more subtle horror. I guess its what people would call a slow burn. Or is that just romance? I'm not up on all the hip terms these days.
It would have been a 5 star read but I knocked off one star because the entire book consists of time jumps back and forth from past to future. That is why I thought I was going to have to DNF and why it took me 6 days to read instead of just 2 or 3.
