March 28, While I found the characters a little flat, I really enjoyed this horrific read. Micheline Helsing is a tetrachromatโa girl who sees the auras of the undead in a prismatic spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she has trained since childhood to destroy monsters both corporeal and spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the bullet, the spiritual undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as her best weapon, Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual energy on film.
When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected with a curse known as a soulchain.

Evil went down by the trigger, overcome with bullets, shutters, blood, and courage. Friends, while I expected to enjoy Shutter a lot more than I did, it was a creepy and enjoyable read for me.
If you are a fan of spooky stories that deliver on the horror with imaginative detail, then keep reading because this book might be for you!
Everytime the sun went down, I swore I sensed them stirring, starving. Only instead of slayers and watchers we have the Helsing Corps, which was founded by and run by the descendants of Bram Stoker and Abraham Van Helsing and others that have since died out over time.
Optimistic by default. This book is action-packed and fast-paced , and the writing style is gripping. Unfortunately for me, I got bored with all the action by the middle of night three and found myself skimming over a lot of it.
