THE CELLAR REVIEW

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spice: 0I absolutely loved The Cellar by Natasha Preston! 🔒📚 This thrilling, edge of your seat read had me hooked from the start. The pacing, action and character dynamics were perfect no slow spots here!I really enjoyed the multiple perspectives, especially Summer and Lewis. Summer was brave and resilient and the other girls struggles were heart wrenching. Clover’s perspective was intense and chilling giving insight into a dangerous mind.The ending was realistic rather than overly “sunshine and roses,” which I loved. A gripping, emotional story that stays with you long aft

A Creepily Good Page Turner

This book caught my attention right from the beginning and became a page turner from the very start. I found it very hard to want to put the book down, even though I did find the ending a little predictable.I truly loved how the author told the story from different characters, and gave us insight to what each one was doing and why they were doing it. I think the book would have been even better if she had told the story from some of the other flowers as well. I wanted more of the flowers background's and to explain their situation. I wanted to sympathize for the other flowers, but I couldn't b

It sucked me in.

I started reading the original draft of this on Wattpad, then switched over to the more polished published version.I won't say it's the most clever or well-written book I've ever read, but, it truly did draw me in. The plot is compelling enough, and you do become attached to the characters. I will say some parts of the plot were quite predictable and others quite repetitive, but just the same, it held my interest through the end.Overall, I think it was a good book, and I'm glad I read it.

glad they didn’t change my view on daisies

A very tense and sad novel about a girl, Summer, who is kidnapped and brought to a cellar where she is forced to play family with three other victims to a man who goes by the name Clover.Summer is given the name Lilly and told how everything works. From day one all she wants is to escape. Violet is the outspoken one who is the second newest victim. She also only wants to escape. Poppy is very shy and quiet but nice. She doesn’t want to stir the pot. She’s seen too many people get hurt. Rose is the girl whose been victimized the longest. She has an odd set of emotions around their captor and sh

Loved it!

I enjoyed this novel! This is the second novel I have read by this author, the first being The Lost, which I enjoyed, and so it tempted me to buy another one of her novels. I liked the story as it was definitely an edge-of-your-seat thriller that kept me turning page after page to find out what happens next. Those are the kind of books I like... ones that make you want to keep reading page after page to find out what happens next, where you are totally invested in the story and characters, and there is constantly action and conversation. Nothing makes me toss a novel aside quicker than a slow
