I was not able to finish the book. The title could not keep my attention, failed to captivate me, and ultimately I moved on to another title. A real shame considering the premise and hope for the book.

Pretty good book. It kept my interest, but there really wasn’t anything fascinating about it, but it was good. I thought it was going to have bad language throughout, but it was only in the first to second chapters and though I didn’t like the bad language, I was grateful it stopped, so I could enjoy the book more. It’s about a witch who comes back after many years to wreak havoc on a town. And she has been abolished to a chest for all these years. It’s interesting and mysterious, but doesn’t shock you to your core or not me anyway. But it was good. Thank you to #NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read #PandoraReborn .

Pandora Reborn is a dark horror fantasy book about a town where weird supernatural things take place more frequently than anywhere else. Ron Olson is new to town and already struggling since his parents divorce. The popular kids take an instant dislike to him but he finds friends in Casey and Christina. People are disappearing and dying and Ron may be the prime suspect.

This was a fun easy read. Slightly gruesome but I have read way worse. I found certain things a little predictable but other parts were unique and I was unable to guess. I actually read this pretty quickly but it did not suck me in. I did not find it bad I just never got sucked in. I liked the premise and the characters were realistic for the most part. I found Ron to be a little s*** at times but for his age I think it was totally normal.

I would read this author again because I think hes got some interesting premises and I hope he grows in his writing. There is a lot of potential which is why I give 3 1/2 stars. I'll round to 4 because on NetGalley that is yes I recommend it. On Goodreads I would have put three because I liked but didn't love it.

Thankyou to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and John Coon for the opportunity to read a copy of Pandora Reborn in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
I enjoy reading horror novels and, from the description, thought this book offered a lot.
Unfortunately, for me, it failed to deliver. I didn't find the storyline to be suspenseful nor scary.
Sorry, but not a book for me.
