I liked reading about The Snyde, and I feel that the idea behind its isolation was good, but I wish the author has perhaps pushed the boundaries a little more and used it to create more tension and fear. I often love isolated settings whilst reading horror or thriller novels, it usually adds a lot of impact to the story. It is described as a fairy tale cottage and it was situated in a place that made it extremely isolated. The main setting in ‘The Uninvited’ was The Snyde. The mystery was good though – who the intruder was and why they were spying on Jay and Mimi was definitely what kept me reading till the end. I did not get this! This book really wasn’t at all scary – and had no sinister atmosphere or particular build up of suspense. The cover and synopsis had me expecting a creepy, sinister read that might leave me glancing over my shoulder while reading. This book really wasn’t what I was expecting. ![]() So who is doing this? and what do they really want? ![]() He accuses her of being the one leaving him strange & threatening tokens – but Mimi has only just reached Canada.
