Author: Cassandra Khaw

Publisher: Tor Nightfire

Publication Date: TODAY!! (hardback/ebook)

I was excited to read this novella around Halloween time.  The pros for this book were the concept and cover.  The cons were the execution and characters.  I didn’t love the writing style as it was a bit purple prosy.  However, the major issue is that I actively disliked all the characters and thought they were selfish and immature.  I have no idea why they were friends at all.  There was too much focus on character backstory and not enough focus on the ghost bride.  I finished this one cause it was short but was bored.  So this one walks the plank!  Arrr!

So lastly . . .

Thank you Tor Nightfire!

Goodreads’ website has this to say about the novel:

A Heian-era mansion stands abandoned, its foundations resting on the bones of a bride and its walls packed with the remains of the girls sacrificed to keep her company.

It’s the perfect wedding venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends.

But a night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare. For lurking in the shadows is the ghost bride with a black smile and a hungry heart.

And she gets lonely down there in the dirt.
