I have never read Flynn's Gone Girl, but I have read Sharp Objects. I was well-prepared for this wonderful and terrifying little book. It was just creepy enough to make me have to keep the light on. It tells the story of a scam artist who is currently a fake fortune teller. She is visited by the wives of one of her clients. She is told that the house the woman lives in is haunted.
The story is short enough at 62 pages to be read in an hour, the cover is beautiful. I really only picked up this book because the cover was so incredibly eye catching. And, the ending, while not neat, is satisfying and leaves you wondering what really happens and who you can trust. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick read, who loves stories that get under their skin, or anyone who just ants a good book.
*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.*
Aside from the review, I was disappointed with Penguin's packaging of this book. I received it in a large box with plastic bubble wrap, when the book itself is only 5x7 or so. I would love to see them move to more environmentally friendly packaging.
