The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn
3.0
The first half of this book was SO incredibly good. Intense, genuinely horrifying, gorey, and written so beautifully. The changing to telling different scenarios of attacks by these monsters was so interesting and kept the story constantly moving. But by the halfway mark, I was starting to get annoyed with the main characters (except Lauren) and all their drama. There was a lot of "will they, won't they" between Jane and Sawyer, which got tiresome very fast. It felt like I was reading a completely different book.. Jane also didn't seem to care a whole lot about Lauren dying, even though they were supposedly best friends?? It seemed like Ryan cared more for her even though he had only met her a few days before. And by the end I was just so over the repetitiveness of them trying to escape. The same things just kept happening over and over again, and then Jane ended up going right back where she started at the end. Overall the end just really bummed me out. I could definitely have seen myself giving this book 5 stars had it continued like the first half of the book
