Review: ONE BY ONE by Freida McFadden

 

“In Revelation, 666 is the numberof the devil. The 6th commandment is thou shall not kill. Six is nota nice number.”

 

Six people at a hotel in thewoods. Each one with a secret. Claire was so sick of her husband with himalways belittling her and being cruel to her. Thank goodness she got separaterooms for the week. She might even make good use of it with another man—withher husband’s best friend. What a long car ride—so awkward and tense. And thenthe car breaks down in the woods? Getting lost in the scary woods and hearingall those howls were certainly eerie enough. I didn’t really get the prose fromthe anonymous person though.

 

The story was enticing, but alittle slow. There seems to be some kind of animal out there, but we’re notreally sure. All we know was that Claire was scared. And, yes, slowly—veryslowly—one by one, they start to disappear. I thought that this would be moresuspenseful and faster. Too much time on the day-to-day stuff and the foragingin the woods.

 

A decent thriller, but I thoughtit be better.
