Then there’s the events that actually happen – or don’t, as the case may be. ![]() But then it slows right down and as it jumps from character to character with each chapter, it was a little confusing picking up the threads of what was happening at times. It starts off great, lots of creepy tension and the usual chaos that comes from the initial panic setting in. Don’t get me wrong, I can love that about a horror book sometimes, but this just was bad. It sounds like a great horror book, but there was a lot that bothered me about this. ![]() The premise grab me instantly: six friends are trapped in a town that doesn’t exist with creepy dolls that are trying to turn them into dolls too. I was so hoping for something more from this book than what was delivered. The Stokes they are in is a nightmare version of the former town, engineered by a deranged and undead mind, a supernatural machine of wrath that will destroy them one by one….unless they submit to its dominance and become living dolls. The actual town had burned to the ground more than fifty years ago. They discover they are trapped there, as Stokes does not really exist. Six friends are returning home from a night out when they end up in a town called Stokes. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
