A review by kirstiereads
The Agony House by Cherie Priest

slow-paced

2.5

This wasn’t a bad read, but it was sooo drawn out and slow and I feel like nothing much happened at all. There was some brief mentioning of race and I feel it wasn’t necessarily called for or handled too well. That’s just my personal opinion. The best part—the comic book. I thought this was only a graphic novel, but it’s a novel with bits of a comic book thrown in throughout the novel. Like 2-3 pages tossed in at a time. So I was bummed about that, but I do still like that—a comic book inside a book. It’s just the overall story didn’t grab my attention. Basically nothing happens until halfway through. I wanted to DNF, but just figured I’d finish it cause it was short and I liked the comic book. I hoped the supernatural aspect would pick up more towards the end. It did I guess, but not enough to spark my interest. 🥱 

Overall, a very slow moving supernatural book. One I didn’t hate, but one I wouldn’t recommend. Sorry 🙈 I wouldn’t count out Cherie Priest though. I may try another book of hers.
