Diary - Chuck Palahniuk

I rated this 7/10

Misty Wilmot has had it. Once a promising young artist, she’s now stuck on an island ruined by tourism, drinking too much and working as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband, a contractor, is in a coma after a suicide attempt, but that doesn’t stop his clients from threatening Misty with lawsuits over a series of vile messages they’ve found on the walls of houses he remodeled.

Suddenly, though, Misty finds her artistic talent returning as she begins a period of compulsive painting. Inspired but confused by this burst of creativity, she soon finds herself a pawn in a larger conspiracy that threatens to cost hundreds of lives. 

What a read!
I liked the tension and the build up and the absurdity of this book. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the overly gruesome 'Haunted' but I was hypnotised by it and it was keeping me glued to the pages.
