Worst Birthday Present EVER

The antique waist coat was an impulse buy, and at the time it seemed like the perfect birthday gift for Ryan. Little did Julie know, however, there was something else at work that day---something sinister---compelling her to make the purchase. From the moment Ryan slipped on the jacket, Julie realized something wasn't right. The changes were subtle at first, but as they grew more extreme, Julie knew she needed to find out more about the jacket, and soon she's pitted against supernatural forces in a race for Ryan's life. Would she be able to figure things out in time to save him, or was she already too late?

COATTAILS by Joshua Rex kept me guessing throughout the story. Not only did I wonder about the coat, but the mysterious ring adds to the suspense. Unfortunately, readers never really learn anything about the history of the coat or the ring, which might have been fine, if there hadn't been so much emphasis placed on the two items.

I think I might not have minded the loose ends quite as much, if the story also included Ryan's POV, as opposed to being limited by Julie's outside observations.

As always,
AstraDaemon
