      That’s how I do my reviews, recap the plot and then say what I liked and did not like towards the end. That’s just me though. If you are looking for a review with no plot mentioned, look for reviews with no spoilers in the title or on the thumbnail.

    I read Middlesex back in the day. It was a good read back then about an intersex person. But it was written about 20 years ago...and I'm not sure if some of the language and concepts are still applicable to our current understanding of intersex people and today some the terms used in the book is considered offensive.

    I like my horror to be scary. I found Ghost Eaters to be annoying. I found a total of three scary pages in Ghost Eaters. Clay had a great idea but he failed to execute his original premise. Over the last decade, the definition of "horror novel" has expanded to include anything horrible happening. Just because characters die, suffer, or get addicted does not make a story a horror tale.

Im currently reading it and its unique because the main character is a 60 year old woman who is discovering her magic for the first time.
