"Danny Orchard died on his 16th birthday-and so did his twin sister, Ashleigh-but only Danny came back. He wrote a bestselling memoir about his experience of heaven called The After, but despite his fame and fortune he's never been able to enjoy his second chance at life. His sister won't let him. Charming and magnetic in life, Ash appeared perfect to outsiders but the budding psychopath privately terrorized her family, and that hasn't stopped with her death. She's haunted Danny for twenty years and now, just when he's met the love of his life and has a chance at a real family, Ash is more determined than ever to keep him all to herself. Danny's already been to heaven. But in order to silence his sister once and for all, he'll have to meet her where she now resides. Which means he has to die one more time before he - and the ones he loves - can go on living."--… (lisätietoja)

Dammit. Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news.

The good news is, hot damn, the first two-thirds of this novel are fantastic. Dark, disturbing, creepy, and scary as shit. I love the idea, the characters, and Pyper's writing hasn't been this amazing (and, at his worst, he's fantastic) since [b:Lost Girls|1664002|Lost Girls|Andrew Pyper|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1186545603s/1664002.jpg|1677689].

Then there's the bad news. The last third lost me. When he brought in the tiger and GM, it all just kind of unraveled and, at least for me, all tension was lost. It felt like the rules and logic of death just became too elastic.

A bit of additional good news, the end (once we got past the tigers and GM) was quite satisfying.

So, overall, I enjoyed it, but there was a span of 70-odd pages that just didn't quite do it for me. ( )

Danny Orchard conseguiu enganar a morte e ganhou uma segunda chance para viver. Só que ele não voltou do inferno sozinho. Em Os Condenados, Andrew Pyper, autor do fenômeno O Demonologista, explora as conexões de amor e ódio entre irmãos gêmeos, numa história sobrenatural digna de pesadelos. Danny passou por uma experiência de quase-morte em um incêndio há mais de vinte anos. Sua irmã gêmea, Ashleigh, não teve a mesma sorte. Danny conseguiu transformar sua tragédia pessoal em um livro que se tornaria um grande best-seller. Ainda que isso não signifique que ele tenha conseguido superar a morte da irmã. Claro, ela nunca mais o deixaria em paz. Mesmo depois de morta, Ash continua sendo uma garota vingativa e egoísta, como sempre. Mas agora que seu irmão finalmente tenta levar uma vida normal, ela se torna cada vez mais possessiva. Danny parece condenado à solidão. Qualquer chance de felicidade é destruída pelo fantasma de seu passado, e se aproximar de outras pessoas significa colocá-las em risco. Os Condenados é o segundo lançamento de Andrew Pyper pela DarkSide® Books. O autor, presente em diversas listas de mais vendidos em todo o mundo, foi consagrado por uma nova geração de leitores brasileiros, que fizeram O Demonologista ser uma das melhores surpresas em 2015. E agora Pyper promete incendiar novamente o mercado com este asfixiante thriller psicológico.

Everything up until Part 3 is decent. Then it turns into uninteresting nonsense.

Side note: I think I'm going to immediately stop reading books as soon as the author decides to make a character fat and then cannot help but to continuously remind us how fat they are. When every line they say has to come with a incredibly detailed of just HOW INTENSELY FAT they are. When they can't even sit in a goddamn chair without the mention that "her girth spilled over the handrests." Or that she moves slightly in her seat but it has to be described as "Michelle shifts in her seat, or tries to."

WE GET IT. YOU HATE FAT PEOPLE. THEY DISGUST YOU.

Then stop writing about them. ( )

Le stelle sono 3/5, un buon horror con una idea originale. Si vede che scrivere horror nella categoria turbava l'editore, infatti questo è in narrativa. A me l'horror piace quindi nessun problema ma dato che l'horror piace a pochi mi immagino quante critiche a questo libro. ( )

Danny Orchard wrote a bestselling memoir about his near-death experience in a fire that claimed the life of his twin sister, Ashleigh, but despite the resulting fame and fortune he’s never been able to enjoy his second chance at life. Ash won’t let him.

In life, Danny’s charming and magnetic twin had been a budding psychopath who privately terrorized her family—and death hasn’t changed her wicked ways. Ash has haunted Danny for twenty years and now, just when he’s met the love of his life and has a chance at real happiness, she wants more than ever to punish him for being alive—so she sets her sights on Danny’s new wife and stepson.

Danny knows what Ash really wants is him, and he’s prepared to sacrifice himself in order to save the ones he loves. The question is: will he make it back this time?
