Burntown

I've come to expect a good, creepy story from Jennifer McMahon. Burntown was good, but not creepy at all. As soon as I found out what "the machine" did, I really thought the book was going in one direction but it went someplace completely different. This is much more of a standard mystery than anything paranormal. The mystery, I thought, was very easy to figure out and I just waited to see how the reveal would work out.

I think if you're already a fan of the author's work, you'll enjoy it enough to pick up but if you're brand new to McMahon, I'd start with The Night Sister.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this one.
