Dana (24 KP) rated Neferet's Curse (House of Night Novellas, #3) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This delved into the interesting, yet tragic back story of Neferet from the House of Night. While we who have read the series know she is no saint, we can understand where that hatred inside her came from. I thought this novella was intriguing because it painted Neferet, formerly known as Emily, in a different light than what we have seen before. I also very much enjoyed the symbolism of the fountain and how that was a foreshadowing of what was to come later in her life. Great job on this novella!

Weak Novella
Halloween is coming, but everyone in Tinker’s Cove is talking about the old, abandoned house in town. While it looks run down from the outside, someone has bought it and moved in during the middle of the night. However, they aren’t very friendly, rebuffing Lucy’s and other’s attempts to welcome them to town. Then the rumors start flying and strange events start happening. What is really going on in this house?
I know that the Lucy Stone series is extremely popular, but I struggle to get through the stories I have read. Part of it is Lucy’s family. I haven’t spent enough time with them to look past their faults and love them, I guess. And, let’s face it, that is often what we have to do with people in real life. In this case, I found the story to be better suited to a short story than even a novella. It’s not bad, but it felt drawn out and a little forced.
NOTE: This story is a novella, roughly 100 pages, and was originally part of the novella collection Haunted House Murder. If you have that book, there is no need to buy this ebook. If you haven’t read the story, now is the time consider this Halloween trip to Maine.
