Simply different for series fans

I bought this because it had such terrible reviews. So bad, I wondered if they we're being fair. In my humble opinion, they were not. The real problem is not that the book is terrible, it is not. Its that we fans oppose change. This book must be taken, not as part of a series, but in its own. It has a different narrator & no longer a male narrator. But the narrator is good. As the title suggests, the book involves experiences people encounter with demons that have haunted a rectory. What I listened to did not seem overtly sexual in nature. But the time if this book does take a different venue. I did not find it too scary but I also did not fund it is interest. And, I think that's the problem. Fans if this author \ narrator really like the first 2 installments. We are not, as a rule, people who switch up and listen to demonic subject matter. For what it is, the book has something to offer though. Just not for me, I will be returning it, and I must add, I did not finish due to lack of a sense the book was going anywhere. I felt the characters were not ( at that point), interesting or well developed. I do have to agree with one reviewer who wondered if this was indeed, the same author? I think it is, just with less interest ing characters.

Horrible

So disappointed in this Author. Not sure what happened but the Dorsetville books were so good and this doesn’t even seem like it’s from the same author . Horrible. Stopped half way
