If domestic drama is an element to a horror story, I would have liked to see the greater impact that this event had in a family's lives than a brief summary of a subsequent event.Ī decent read that will satisfy horror readers looking for a straight up monster tale. A single character deciding to stop doing something unethical after being called out but not even reprimanded or directly addressed is not enough. Rather it is the lack of evolution of the characters. Where this novel falters a little for me that pushes down the rating is not my personal preference for story types. Nana is a story that presents the reader with a character that asks not only what a creature can do, but what can one that manipulates achieve. While I personally prefer to question a twist a little, what it sacrifices is replaced with a brutal and blunt display of monstrosity both of the psychological and physical. The type of villainy is quickly apparent even to brains like my own that are usually quite oblivious to twists and toying. It doesn't waste time in building the suspense. Nana is a tale that doesn't beat around the bush.

The audiobook narration was pretty good at least. book club pick, I will gather my thoughts and type up some notes. The beginning was the roughest for me as too many things seemed utterly ridiculous. Then this morning-despite wanting to go back to Wonderland- I went back and finished Nana. That one I read 2/3 straight fhrough before I couldn't keep my eyes open. He launches an investigation into the woman who demands to be called 'Nana,' and has taken over his home. Monica's husband, Troy, knows something is up. In fact, I purchased this month's book club pick ( Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier) with 3 days to finish b4 the discussion.as I felt like I needed a chance at a positive book club experience. Tending to Monica as she falls ill to a mysterious sickness that, every day, makes Monica look and feel older. I ended up walking away and started reading another book. If this wasn't a book club pick, I could have returned it to the library and not thought twice about it. Wanted to DNF this at 1/3 way through and again at just under half way through.
