You have Ben feeling like an outsider on top of his appearance, Reed shutting himself off for long stretches (no pun intended) of time, Susan feeling the need to hold everything together. ![]() Hickman's run was my first FF story and I understood immediately why the team had been a Marvel staple for decades, since there's so much in the dynamics to mine. Even though there was a lot going on in his FF already, there was still enough focus on the members of the team and how they interacted with eachother. The way Hickman weaves different plots together is impressive and is on the same level as his Fantastic Four run, but there's something important missing here that FF did have: more characterization and character dynamics for the main cast. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book comes packed with easy-to-follow charts covering the sun, eight different planets, and, unique to this book, the rapid fluctuations of the moon for every year from 1900 through 2025.

Booktubing seemed to be a great place for finding new friends with diverse opinions and similar interests. He got into reviewing books because he was best friends with Jasmine, a person who read a lot of books and encouraged him to join a community that had different or similar views. Alderson started booktubing in 2012 as a way to express his newfound love for young adult literature and books in general. Aside from publishing his own novels and reviewing books on YouTube, he has also founded his own publishing house known as Benjamin of Tomes.

I wanted to know: where and how it lived and came to haunt people. What I both liked and didn’t like (in a good way!), though, was in not understanding the origins of the demon. With his friends also haunted by the demon in the house, or perhaps, the demon of the house, Jesse and his pals all end up falling prey to the demon. ![]() He’s losing his hold on reality, and I felt for him. I felt trapped as Jesse, the main character, did, in his dead-end job, in a dead-end town, and rapidly, a deadening marriage. I didn’t find the story original, considering it’s the typical demon-possessed-house-that-needs-host kind of story, but Ahlborn’s fresh and tense writing brings the house, the ghost, and even the dead sleepy town to life. The book is clawed through with suspense, and while reading most of it in one sitting, I was unnerved and sufficiently spooked.Īhlborn does fantastic work crafting her main characters and bringing the dead girl’s ghost to life in a ruthless and demonic way. But it’s oh-so-good with Ahlborn’s wickedly tight writing. ![]() If You See Her is a typical, and maybe even stereotypical haunted house story. ![]() |
