The Amulet - Michael McDowell, Julia Whelan

The story of a haunted amulet, which is out to get everyone in the city of Pine Cone. 

 

This was gross, deeply disturbing, very creative in the way the people died and darkly comedic at times. Parts of this story I really enjoyed, but towards the end of the book it became a tad tedious, because the same happens all the time:

 

everyone dies.

(show spoiler)

 

And I would like to give a shout out to one of the most vile characters that ever has made an appearance on the page of a book: Jo Howell. What a vile person.
