Rating: 4/5 Stars
Review: Rune by J.H. Glaze was another book in the Sweet 16 Summer Splash challenge that I participated in.
I didn't really find this book to be horror, more of a suspense, thriller, mystery. I do understand that it was supposed to have a scare element to it. It was a short and easy read. I was kept interested throughout and when I was finished I was left wanting more. I enjoyed the characters for the brief time that we spent together. I really want to learn more about Gerlock!! Where did he come from? Why a dog? Why Jake? Hopefully more answers will be given with each new instalment.
I would recommend this novella to J.H. Glaze fans and also to anyone who enjoys suspense, mystery thrillers with a hint of horror. I will definitely read the next book in the series.
