Fight Fire With Fire | Horror Review | AstraDaemon

WHAT DID NOT DIE by Ruth Anna Evans is told through the POV of a reporter covering a house fire. While on the scene, Jordan sees a little girl in the fire, only to be told no one was left in the house. From that moment on, people connected to the reporter found themselves victims of fires.

Jordan discovers the little girl had died in the hospital, but she deliberately started thehouse fire. Soon the reporter realizes the spirit has latched onto her, but doesn't understand why. The ending is an asbolute roller-coaster of action and emotion.

The assortment of characters keeps the story interesting, although I wish there had been more dialogue. I also would have preferred more detailed flashbacks to Jordan's past.

If you enjoy movies such as The Grudge and The Ring, you should read this novella.

As always,
