Nook & Canny reviewed The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes
Couldn't lay it aside (but I had to)
5 stars
The book should come with a warning label since the protagonist Maya is heavily addicted to drugs (pills) and alcohol. The way it is written it could be a trigger for all of those fighting an addiction.
I haven't read a thriller in ages. This one is one I'd call a psycho/mystery thriller. There is no violence, no blood shed, just mind games.
If not for work (well, I have to pay rent and fill my fridge) I could have read it in a day or two.
The author really kept the suspense and the need to know high up.
The end was a bit ... flat hence disappointing (for me) but nonetheless, this debut thriller totally worth reading it.
