Review:

Love Holly so much

---------------------------------------------
Review previously placed on my blog:

I have read Holly by Stephen King. This is the third book in the Holly series, but in my opinion it's actually the sixth book. Read a Dutch copy from the library whilst listening to the audiobook at the same time. Picked this up last week from the library, because I was suddenly in the mood to read a thriller/horror. I also love Stephen King's books most of the time, so new this was probably going to be a win. This is a crime book with horror and mystery elements.

I absolutely love Holly as a character, so was super excited when I saw King came out with this book. I knew it was not going to be a disappointment and it definitely wasn't. The plot was very good and well done. It was pretty horrific, but not too much for me. Holly was of course the absolute best and it was also fun to see the other characters again. 

If you want to pick this book up, but you haven't read the other books: I think you will be fine. There are some things mentioned from books before, but not very often and it is not that important for the book. You do miss some character background of course, but don't think you miss much for this book. King does explain some basic things you should know about the character dynamics. So feel free to pick this up, but I personally enjoyed the other books a lot too, so if you can, pick those up as well.
