I had a bit of a difficult time getting started with this one. My biggest issue was the formatting. I read an e-book and there was no indent, and the chapters were not spaced a part, so it read almost without breaks, outside of dialogue. I found that a touch jarring.

But once I did get into the story, I was able to get a bit more used to it, but I still found myself having a hard time following things. It felt a touch choppy at times, and maybe a bit too atmospheric, if that makes sense.

It wasn’t bad at all, it’s perhaps just not a style that resonates with me. And having said that, I still gave it a 3 which to me is a good solid read.

I felt for both characters. The author’s ability to really delve into both of their siblings’ perspectives and feelings really made the story for me. I do tend to like flawed characters, and these two fit that description.

This does start out a little slow but then it picks up around chapter 2. It's an eerie, creepy story about a brother and sister who went through something horrifying as children. Now that they're adults, they realize their childhood night isn't over. This horror did not disappoint and I'm excited to see what else Anderson comes up with.

This is a novel about a brother and sister who faced something horrifying as children. They each went a different route dealing with this trauma. And now, as adults, they realize it's back and they have been marked.

Taking place in San Francisco and having horrific things coming from the thick fog is a great premise. And there are some truly unsettling things that happen.

Keep in mind that I think this author writes very well and there are some solid scares in the pages. In fact, I KNOW people who would absolutely love this book. But for me, personally, I was taken out of the story due to (for me) excessive descriptions and details which bogged down the narrative.

And that's really a shame because if those were a little tighter this would have been a much better read for me. But, there are still lots to like and I would recommend it to those who love details more than I do.

Children of the Fog
Is a eerie tale of childhood monsters that don't quite leave you, even when you grow up. Though it does have a slow start, it does pick up after the first chapter and is very immersive on some realities. Anderson did not disappoint, enhancing the unsettling element of the fog, and the personification of the main characters nightmares.

I received an e-ARC copy of this book from the publishers on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
