Daniel Carter became a private investigator
after a homicide he was working as a detective goes horribly sideways and
totally weird. He just wants to forget about it, but he can’t. When he inherits
a bookstore in Providence from a someone he doesn’t know things get strange and
weird all over again.
What the fuck did I just read? This is a
well-written incredibly bizarre story that had me confused at times, but it
didn’t detract from the sense of dread and suspense that permeates the entire
story. It’s a bit too out there for my tastes and has too much confusing (to
me) science fictiony-horror stuff which is why it gets a 4 instead of a 5, but
it’s still a riveting tale that had me glued to the pages waiting to see what
happens next. I really like Daniel and Emily and how the whole thing ties back
to H.P. Lovecraft. Pretty nifty storytelling. Confusion or not, I’ll be checking
out book 2 for sure to see where this whole thing is heading.
Sounds kind of interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting! I may have to read it again because there were some things I didn't understand, but I blame that totally on me. :D
