I've decided to put this one down for now; not giving it any stars and I'm not trying to persuade anyone not to read it. I simply think it's not for me and I'm struggling with a few of the characters. Time to move on to the next!

Rebekah Smith Are you good and you are a good at writing books

Rebekah Smith That book is Halloween too

Chelsea Humphrey Definitely not Varniit. So far it feels much more like a goofy scooby doo read with adult themes

So, you mean to say it is like scooby doo cartoons and movies where doo and shaggy ..."


Bahaha 100% right on!

Joe For Christ's sake. This sounds even more obnoxious than Ready Player One and I wasn't sure that was scientifically possible. Good call, Chelsea.

BAHAHAHAHAHA! That gave me a good laugh Joe!


Sabriel Mastin I put it down for now as well. The concept is neat, but I have difficulty following along because I keep having to remind myself who the characters are.


Richard Reddings Dense

Tyff Omg I am forcing myself to finish but I am right there with you


Joggingt Yes I only got through the first chapter. Will try again


message 18: by Sammy (new)

Sammy Sandoval I couldn't get past the 2nd page. Not for me!!!

Jay Madeleine Okay, I am currently reading it and I completely get the issues with this characters. I feel like I wanted to love it so much, but I am not finished maybe my mind will changed at the end.


Ashley Wolpers I’m reading it now and I’m so BORED!!! 😭

McB Damn, what a bunch a assholes you “reviewers” are.


Jason Flatt Absolutely loved this book. Super. Creative writing style that had me hooked from the start


message 23: by Melyssa (new)

Melyssa I thought it was me! I’m on a forced page 74 and I’m losing track of characters, plot , and I’m generally bored... want to push through it because I waited a while for the book to finally come in at the library , but I’m not sure I can do it .


Sarah Deanna I should have put it down. I was very disappointed !


Jennifer Struss I totally understand. I was expecting more similarities to the Scooby Doo gang, and definitely not the sharp left turn into full-on Creepyvile.


Elizabeth (Donnamartinreads) I feel the same way! I had to quit about halfway through. Just could not get into it.


Tracey Carroll I had to do that as well...just picked it back up and finished it


message 28: by Cailin (new)

Cailin I didn’t finish this one either. I contemplated picking it back up until I find something else to read, but then I was like nah. It was so boring.


Rachel I’m struggling with this one as well. A quarter of the way through but I think I’ll push through. Just hate the writing style. Hoping the mystery is interesting


Richard Howard I wish I'd done that but I'd bought it so plowed on through.


message 31: by Emma (new)

Emma Is this book scary


message 32: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Same here. I liked the premise but I found that I had a hard time connecting with the characters.


message 33: by Tammy (new) - rated it 1 star

Tammy Ingham Same. I rarely quit a book, but I could not get into this one. It felt like a chore every time I picked it up. I was so excited for it too, but it definitely didn’t deliver- at least, not for me.


message 34: by Erin (new)

Erin Always the wise (and Kind!!) thing to do when a book just isn’t clicking, but it’s not *necessarily* the fault of the book. I’m just starting this one... we’ll see.


Caitlyn You made the right choice.


message 36: by Bill (new) - added it

Bill Mock Yup, went into the end pile today. Not sure if it's because it took so long to get started, the characters, or the odd attempt at sexual tension. But I can't, I just can't.


Shane Kali Meyer It was the odd attempt at sexual tension and the fact it didn’t pick up until 2/3 through the move. I pushed through and it got a bit more fun but, not for me.


message 38: by Mark (new)

Mark  Reiter Same boat. I made it to chapter four but had to put it down. Just not my thing.


Jonathan I put it down about two months ago. It was on a bunch of lists as a top new horror so i fugured id check it out. Love horror, love Scooby Doo. I was disappointed, I found it a bit boring, also it felt a
bit preachy. I love bad ass well written characters no matter race, sex, or creed, but they beat the "Tomboy" thing to death in the first half. We get it! She was a badass character from the moment we met her. This is a great example the show not tell part of writing. I am going to pick up today and try again today, because the concept is super interesting.🤞


Anthony the human and Curry the cat It was the okay-ist thing I have forced myself to read. It was written so weird, I wish I never read it but I’m glad I didn’t just set it down… I think.


message 41: by Katie (new) - added it

Katie Ballinger Yeah, I really wanted to like it and maybe I’ll come back to it later, but I have a hard time getting past the fact that the author basically combined Daphne and Velma into one character. I can’t see into the author’s mind to see what led him to make that decision, but as a woman who watched Scooby Doo a lot as a kid and whose favorite characters were Daphne and Velma, my gut told me it’s because he thought they weren’t interesting enough on their own. Again, I can’t claim that is what happened, but that’s what it felt like.
