Review: The 'Geisters by David Nickle
About Book
When Ann LeSage was a little girl, she had an invisible friend - a poltergeist, that spoke to her with flying knives and howling winds. She called it the Insect. And with a little professional help, she contained it. And the nightmare was over, at least for a time. But the nightmare never truly ended. As Ann grew from girl into young woman, the Insect grew with her. It became more than terrifying. It became a thing of murder. Now, as she embarks on a new life married to Michael Voors, a successful young lawyer, Ann believes that she finally has the Insect under control. But there are others vying to take that control away from her. They may not know exactly what they're dealing with, but they know they want it. They are the 'Geisters. And in pursuing their own perverse dream, they risk spawning the most terrible nightmare of all.
My Review
3.5 Stars
I received this book through Goodreads First Reads.
In The 'Geisters we follow Ann LeSage, a young woman who has grown up with a poltergeist. This book is not everyone's cup of tea and I honestly do not know how I feel about. David Nickle is a talented writer but as for the story line....well, like I said before...not everyone's cup of tea. When I first started reading the book I had a hard time starting it because I found it slow and uninteresting but about halfway through the book it sparked my interest when it took a turn that I can honestly say I would have never expected. Once I finished the book I was left speechless because I did not know what to think. All in all it was a well written book but I would not say that I was a big fan of the story personally.
