Rating: 4.5 stars
Genre: Horror/Paranormal
I picked this book up during an Amazon freebie and you know? I’m glad I did. Although I wouldn’t quite slot it into the Stephen King box it was entertaining, at times funny, and overall well crafted. If I had to ‘assign’ a genre I’d go for tongue-in-cheek paranormal mystery – a bit like Warehouse 13 meets Supernatural.
And this book is not new to a review or two. Of the lot (generally positive), the most scathing read something along the lines of ‘there was too much cussing’ (is it bad if I didn’t even notice this?) and ‘not psychological enough’ (well that’s a question of taste perhaps…).
As for constructive criticism. I agree with some, that the long list of characters was at times confusing (especially the kooks), but this was often solved by reading a little further. It also frustrated me that Roach was so gullible – I kinda wished he’d had a larger part to play.
Overall it wasn’t scary in a ‘read under the covers’ kinda way, but I enjoyed the paranormal, ‘tongue-in-cheek’ action. Some good, light-hearted kinda twisted fun.
