THE CARETAKER by Marcus Kliewer I’m on the fence about this one. Macy answers a Craigslist ad for a house sitting position. She would only have to be there for the weekend and it pays nine thousand dollars. Of course there has to be a catch, but Macy’s desperate for money so she ignores all the red flags (and her sister’s advice). The first half was great; I was hooked right away. The atmosphere was dark, tension filled, and creepy. However, Macy was the worst person for this job! It was hard to root for her when she couldn’t follow through with any of the instructions. Granted some of the “rites” were ridiculous and nonsensical, but she couldn’t get one thing right And she’s the one tasked with preventing something catastrophic from happening to humanity?! Yikes. What ultimately saved this for me was the excellent audiobook narration/performance by Corey Brill. In short, this had a lot of potential, but it failed to deliver. Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️
