REVIEW: “THE CORMORANT,” CHUCK WENDIG Posted on March 12, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: A fascinating bloody mess!CONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
Chuck Wendig’s The Cormorant (3) (Miriam Black) is book three after _Blackbirds_ and _Mockingbird_. In book one, we discovered that Miriam Black has an unusual power: the first time she touches someone skin-to-skin, she sees how and when they’ll die. She’d become a scavenger–she waited for people to die and took their money to live off of. She met up with conman Ashley and trucker Louis and figured out how to finally cheat fate–by trading one life for another. In book two, Miriam had to stop a serial killer stalking schoolgirls. It turned out to be another psychic, someone culling girls who would “poison” the lives of others. They believed they were doing something similar to what Miriam does, and wanted her help. She, of course, disagreed. Now Miriam finds herself in the hands of the FBI, agents Grosky and Vills from the BAU, who seem to think she might be a serial killer. She starts to relate her story of what’s been going on, and chapter by chapter we find out that an old friend is now stalking Miriam, killing people she’s touched and leaving her messages in her visions of their deaths. He’s gained some power of his own, and seems to outwit Miriam at every turn. She realizes that he’s going to kill her mother, and even though she isn’t fond of her mother, she’ll do everything she can to save her. Miriam has been experimenting with saving lives, but it isn’t as profitable and doesn’t always end well. It also requires her to kill. It’s interesting to watch her try to come to terms with when and how she should interfere with fate. The Trespasser is still coming to her, and it isn’t thrilled with her little experiment. It apparently doesn’t want her to interfere in _all_ of the murders and violent deaths she sees. She’s learning that situations can have nuance. She also experiments with living with roommates, which similarly doesn’t go entirely well. She has yet to find a decent way to live with what she is. Miriam turns out to be bisexual in this volume, and I like that. It isn’t made a big deal of; she just spends the night with Gabby, a woman she meets in a bar, and their relationship is one more target for Miriam’s stalker. I think my favorite part of this volume is watching the ways in which Miriam’s stalker is manipulating her, because he knows how to use her powers against her in this way. Wendig is really building up a fascinating world where it comes to psychics. Miriam also enters the sights of a drug dealer, Tap-Tap, who has been told that she stole his cocaine shipment. When he finds out she hasn’t, he makes it her responsibility to find out who did and bring them to him. Miriam is kept limping around Florida half-crazed not always even aware of what she’s chasing. I’m curious to see what the next book will bring! Content note: animal harm, torture and violence, and also Miriam can be offensive sometimes. (I don’t get the impression from reading this that we’re meant to condone this, or that the author does–it’s just that Miriam’s a work in progress as a humanbeing.)

REVIEW: “HIDDEN MAGIC,” VARIOUS AUTHORS Posted on March 8, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Some intense, delightful stories in here! CONS: Not all of them stand upRATING: 4 out of 5
Hidden Magic (Magic Underground Anthologies Book 1) is the first in a “trilogy” of anthologies, with each author writing three linked stories, one for each volume. It’s a really neat format. Some of these stories take place in pre-existing worlds, but they’re made to stand alone from that. I had no trouble making sense of all of them. The only authors in here I was already familiar with were Lee French and Erik Kort, who wrote a story that fits into their Greatest Sin world (although it doesn’t involve the main characters of those books). That series happens to be one of my favorites, and THE GREATEST SIN: A SACRIFICE OF BLOOD lived up to my high expectations. Teenaged Algie and his Grandma Katona are practicing magic and playing chess when murderous thieves break into their mansion. Algie has been taught his whole life that killing is the greatest sin, but in order to keep his grandmother alive, he’s going to have to do more than run away. This was a riveting story, and I was able to really empathize with Algie’s despair at the idea of having to kill. The authors managed to get it across so well. (In most stories where a character is reluctant to kill when it seems the only way out, it’s hard to imagine how they struggle against it for so long. Here, Icould get it.)
> “Hello, my name is Jannil. My men and I will be robbing your house> tonight.”
Anela Deen’s A VEIL IS PARTED is another excellent story. Jessa stumbles across the existence of a whole other world of beings, and nearly dies when she gets in the way of a battle. There are some unexpected twists to what’s going on, and events get quite tense. H.B. Lyne’s THE HUNTER was an engrossing tale of veteran Felix Jones. He’s going to a support group for veterans when his sister, who was supposed to go for emotional support, never shows up–and her phone number is out of order, and he can no longer remember where she lived. He’s neither the first nor the last person to suffer a bizarre loss of memory regarding part of the city, which seems to have disappeared. As he struggles to figure out what’s going on, he comes across a group of shapeshifters who are looking into the same thing. Who are the good guys? Who are the bad guys? Will he be able to get into the missing part of the city? Can he save his sister? Felix is not wholly a likable character, but he’s understandably damaged and willing to do whatever it takes to get his sister back. I’m curious to see where this one goes in the next two volumes. THE CATCH, by Gwendolyn Woodschild, is an intriguing story of Viking Brandur and his Jarl wife, Torhild. When Brandur, who prefers the life of a simple fisherman, returns to find his village under attack by invisible forces, he ends up setting out to find his grandmother. She lives in the woods, and has a reputation of having supernatural abilities. Brandur finds out that these abilities have been passed down to him, and he gets a crash course in interacting with the souls of the dead. But will he be in time to save his village? I like the characters in here. Brandur and Torhild in particular are layered and interesting. I’d like to find out what happens to them next. THE DRUID’S HEIR is Tiffany Shand’s story of Rhiannon (Ann) Valeran, the archdruid’s heir. She has a guard and friend named Edward who wishes he could be more than that to her, two half-brothers (their father seems well-known for his many affairs–some with very ill-considered partners–and this is treated with odd glibness), and a doting, if perhaps stifling, father. Her father is working to put together a treaty that would bring peace to the various lands, but of course not everyone wants that. A mysterious seer tells Ann her house will fall, and she rushes to figure out what might threaten her family. Edward and Ann are very good characters, and I look forward to finding out what happens to them next. This tale was a little rough around the edges, but it was still gripping to read. Leah W. Van Dinther’s THE AMETHYST WINDOW introduces us to Carol Conley, who can see spirits associated with objects. When she visits her supplier to look for new items to buy, she meets Mr. Fred Archegon. The spirits are terrified of him, but he seems so elegant, friendly, and nice! The characters in this one are really interesting; Freddie is genuinely charming and a little bit forbidding, while Carol is a sweet lady who isn’t sure who to trust, or what to do about Archegon. I’m very curious to see where this one goes! THE MARK OF THE RED GOD, by Majanka Verstraete, is another favorite from this collection. Saleyna had the mark of the Red God branded into her forehead as a child in order to subdue her outlawed magic. The priests of the Red God still persecute magic-users, looking for reasons to kill them. If they knew that some of Saleyna’s empathy abilities remained, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. Saleyna doesn’t want to join in the quiet resistance against the priests, but her brother is in over his head and in order to save him, she agrees to infiltrate the priesthood as a new acolyte. I found this world intriguing and gripping, and I very much want to see where itgoes next.
AMASKAN, by Raven Oak, is a story about brother-and-sister pair Bredych and Shendra. The Order of Amaska is an order of trained killers, but they serve at the behest of the king and carry out “Justice.” Shendra thinks that murder is murder and thus wrong, but the Order picked her up out of the gutter and she feels she has no other choice than to finish her final trial and move on to the next stage of her training. Her trial, however, involves killing the madam of a brothel who’s believed to be involved in human trafficking. The woman has seemed fairly untouchable so far, and Shendra really doesn’t want to kill anyone, so naturally things go terribly wrong. I’m very curious to see how things continue from where this leftoff.
THE MAIL-ORDER WITCH, by Joynell Schultz, was a sweet, cosy, and fun story. Ettie is a witch and a mail-order bride. Arranged marriages like hers and Roman’s aren’t unusual in their magical community, as pairing off with normal humans dilutes the magic in their bloodlines, and Roman’s a warlock. I like how they’re falling in love with each other, and how Roman sticks with Ettie even when people start to believe she’s cursed the children of the town into growing foxes’ tails. This is a fun little mystery that wraps up enough to stand on its own, while leaving plenty of questions for the furtherstories.
There are some negatives in this anthology. One story that seems set in a fantasy-land uses terms like “kamikaze” and “sword of Damocles,” which are _cultural_ references from the real world, and thus jarringly out of place. Some of the stories have bizarre pacing, cartoonish action sequences, or stilted dialogue. One names its comic-book villain “Count Repugnian,” which is far too on-the-nose. One character we’re supposed to like muses on how much he wants his sons back, and then seems to indicate that one is trans, so suddenly he seemed much less likable since apparently he wants to reverse that. One story is apparently based on a philosophy piece, and unfortunately it shows–the philosophical parts of things make the story unbelievable as a fantasy story. One princess pretty much spends her entire story doing nothing, having amorphous things happen around her, with no agency on her part. Some authors spend too much time trying to tell us what everyone feels, when they should just let us see it for ourselves. Other authors spend too much time on irrelevant details to the story, working in too much background information and taking away from the urgency. One witchy main character we’re supposed to identify with comes across more as the mean popular girl from high school, and she just isn’t very likable, even when she’s the wronged party. (Also, I’m not fond of the “I’m not good at social stuff but somehow I’m dating the most popular guy in the school” trope.) Another story has way too many weirdly hostile characters for no apparent reason. It doesn’t feel natural at all. Some of the stories I haven’t called out by name do have some excellent action sequences, however. Overall I really enjoyed this anthology, and I look forward to reading the next two.

REVIEW: “MOCKINGBIRD,” CHUCK WENDIG Posted on March 4, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: The world has gotten so much stranger!CONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
Chuck Wendig’s Mockingbird (Miriam Black Book 2) is the follow-on to the wonderful _Blackbirds_. Miriam Black is a psychic with one, very obnoxious ability: the first time she touches someone skin-to-skin, she sees how they will die. Over the years she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t prevent someone’s death–until she discovered somewhat accidentally that as long as she sacrifices a life, she can save a life. She discovers this when she kills the man who is torturing and about to kill Louis, her friend. Now, Louis has caused her to settle down, living in a trailer park and working as a cashier at a store. Unfortunately, it’s killing Miriam’s wanderer spirit. (She used to hitchhike, follow people she knew would die soon, and take their valuables when they kicked off.) She’s even bowing to Louis’s desire for her to wear gloves so she doesn’t find out about anyone’s deaths. One day her manager fires her for her attitude, and she decides to ditch the gloves. What she sees and does next will catapult her right back into dealing with her abilities. She ends up visiting a boarding school for troubled girls, where she discovers that several of the girls are fated to be killed by a serial killer. Of course that’s supposed to happen a couple of years hence, so how is she supposed to figure out who the killer is now? The mysterious powers that pushed at Miriam toward the end of _Blackbirds_ amp up their game. They make it very clear they expect her to get involved and kick fate’s ass. They even appear to someone else at one point, and they start to interfere beyond merely giving confusing instructions. Miriam meets another psychic who has a similarly unusual and specific ability and who uses it to alter fate. The question is, is this someone essentially doing the same thing she is but from a different angle, or is this someone doing something altogether terrible? We also find out how Miriam first developed her ability, which is a dark and troubling story. One of my favorite parts of this book was watching Miriam have to repeatedly find ways to sneak in and out of the Caldecott School, trying something a little different every time. There’s some entertaining material in here. The relationship between Louis and Miriam is also interesting. Louis doesn’t want Miriam to give in to using her abilities, and he’s trying to decide if he can come to terms with her using them or not. The two have an on-again off-again relationship that makes sense given how utterly and completely different they are. Miriam has a tendency to say and do things that hurt Louis, largely because she feels trapped by his desire for her to lead a more “normal” life. I really liked everything surrounding the other psychic Miriam meets and how they do their thing. The whole story and background and structure of it is really fascinating. I hope we’ll get to see more things like this as we continue the series, because the worldbuildingis really neat.
Content note for violence and death. I should also note that Miriam is sometimes a bit problematic (she makes inappropriate and offensive jokes sometimes), but I never get the feeling Wendig is condoning her attitudes. Instead she very much comes across as a work-in-progress who definitely has room to grow and learn.Posted in Reviews

REVIEW: “BLACKBIRDS,” CHUCK WENDIG Posted on March 2, 2020by Heather — No

PROS: Raucous, whirlwind adventureCONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
Chuck Wendig brings us Blackbirds (1) (Miriam Black),
book one of a six-book series. Miriam Black has a unique ability: when she touches someone skin-to-skin, she sees how that person will die. She’s been trying for years to figure out how to change fate, but no matter what she does she can’t keep people from dying. So now, instead, she finds people who are going to die very soon, tracks them until they do, and liberates the cash in their wallets. She isn’t exactly “suited” to a 9-to-5 job, so she hitchhikes all over the place and lives off of the cash she collects. Then she meets Louis. He’s a very nice trucker who seems interested in her. But when she touches him, she discovers that he’s due to die in about a month, tortured and killed with her name on his lips. She flees him, only to get roped into helping out a con artist, a guy named Ashley, with her ability. But Ashley has a secret–he stole a suitcase full of drugs. And there are three people on his trail looking for that case–three people with a taste for torture and murder. Ingersoll, Frankie, and Harriet–the three people after Ashley–are fascinating creatures. Harriet likes to hurt people, and her story of how she got that way is really fascinating for all of the questions it _doesn’t_ answer. Frankie is a very reluctant thug, giving him a bit of instant depth. And Ingersoll has no hair whatsoever, and is obsessed with a bunch of bones he carries with him. Once he finds Miriam’s diary, he becomes obsessed with her. There’s plenty of danger, adventure, and close calls. Miriam is a cynical young woman with a lot of hard times in her past. Ashley is a self-serving ass, but the two of them strike a chord with each other. Miriam really is something of a vulture, keeping a datebook with notes on who’s going to die when so she can go rifle through their things when it happens. It’s interesting to see her waver on whether she wants to get close to Louis, and whether she wants to do it for her usual reasons, or maybe try once again to see whether she’s able tochange fate.
All in all this is a really fun book and I can’t wait to read moreof the series.
Content note for lots of salty language, slurs, death, sex, violence,and torture.

SHORT TAKE: “COME CLOSER,” SARA GRAN Posted on February 28, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: What an intriguing take on possession! CONS: The pacing is a bit offRATING: 4 out of 5
Sara Gran’s novella Come Closer brings us into the lives of married couple Amanda and Ed. Ed is in finance; Amanda is a successful architect. One day, a proposal that Amanda drops on her boss’s desk turns out to be filled with insults. When she goes home, a weird tapping sound starts up in the loft she and Ed occupy. She takes up smoking again almost accidentally, starts becoming crabby and picking fights, and then loses time. She takes a quiz for likelihood of whether a person is possessed or not, and her score keeps increasing with each time she takes it. She decides to seek out help, but the particular demon that’s after her may be too strong for any help that’s out there. The one real problem I had here was with the pacing. It seems to be uniformly quick and even, lacking the variation that makes for real surprises and rests and so forth. I feel like the emotional impact of the story could have been greater if that issue was fixed. Also, the fact that Amanda spent a long time not fighting what was happening to her robbed the story of some of its potential tension. I love the fact that this is a possession story free of any trappings of Catholicism. The typical exorcism story steers these tales in a specific direction, and by avoiding that entirely this one remains fresh and interesting. I found myself wanting to know even more about the mysterious demon haunting Amanda. There also seems to be quite a population of demons walking amongst us, and that’s an intriguing bit of world-building!Posted in Reviews

SHORT TAKE: “HALLOWEEN FIEND,” C.V. HUNT Posted on February 26, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Interesting premise CONS: Most of the characters didn’t appealRATING: 4 out of 5
C.V. Hunt’s horror novella Halloween Fiend introduces us to Barry, who lives in the dying town of Strang. He works at the grocery store while trying to care for his ailing father. The town has an uneasy peace with a fiend they simply refer to as Halloween–each house with someone still living in it leaves a “treat” out for Halloween each night, such as a guinea pig. Halloween collects these things, and then once a year he claims a human who’s been chosen via a sort of raffle at the fall festival. Barry seems to have caught Halloween’s attention, and the fiend is taunting him. When the fall festival comes around, the town decides that this year they’re going to include a couple of carnival rides, and they tap Barry to host the two carnies who have to remain in town. The sheriff seems to have it in for Barry, and almost seems to want to catch him failing in his task to keep the carnies from hearing abouttheir situation.
None of the characters really appeal (except perhaps for the waitress Barry has a thing for, who dresses up as Freddy Krueger for Halloween and frankly would have made a much more interesting main character). Some of them don’t have enough depth to explain their actions, either. For instance, I have no idea why on earth the sheriff would suddenly have it in for Barry, nor do I understand why the town would risk hosting the carnies, who are virtually certain to not want to stay hidden away while everything is going on. Other than that, however, this is a really neat book. Halloween is an interesting entity, and the town with its secrets–probably doomed to die with its population–is worth exploring. Content note for animal harm. If you’re looking for a fun little monster story with a touch of rural horror, give this one a try!Posted in Reviews

SHORT TAKE: “THE FESTERING ONES,” S.H. COOPER Posted on February 24, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Engaging and originalCONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
S.H. Cooper’s novella The Festering Ones is a short piece of cosmic horror that’s a lot of fun. Young Faith went on a hunting trip with her father, only to see him pulled beneath the ground by a monster. No one believed her of course, or so she thought–when she went through her dead mother’s things years later, she found research notes that indicated her mother _did_ believe her. Those notes lead her to a mysterious cult called The Gathered, as well as two other women who are missing loved ones: Janice and Sasha. The three of them jet off to Florida, where they find a second cult devoted to a rival entity. Faith discovers that her time looking into The Gathered has marked her, and these strong women are pulled into a deadly battle. I love the main characters. They’re three imperfect-yet-strong women, determined to do what they can for their loved ones. They go through hell and we can only hope they’ll come out the other side intact. Faith is an excellent lead. She realizes she’s in over her head, but she isn’t willing to sit down and give up. The worldbuilding is excellent. There’s a whole ecosystem of entities and worlds and monsters. The author doesn’t derail the story to talk about them–she lets them come out naturally in the tale. The cultists themselves are also a bit unusual. They aren’t your stereotypical nut-jobs at all, which I love. Faith ends up in contact with one of them, and the dynamic is intriguing. This book may have my favorite ending of a horror novella ever!Posted in Reviews

REVIEW: “GIDEON THE NINTH,” TAMSYN MUIR Posted on February 21, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Absolutely stunning!CONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb Trilogy Book 1) is a stunning blend of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. I first became interested in it when I heard it described as “lesbian necromancers in space,” and that isn’t a bad description. Gideon Nav is an indentured servant to the Ninth House, the Keepers of the Locked Tomb, and she is determined to escape. But it’s the 10,000th year of the reign of the King Undying, and he wants the heads of the eight houses, with their cavaliers, to come to him and undergo trials to become the next group of Lyctors (insanely powerful, nearly-immortal necromancers). Thus eight pairs of necromancer and cavalier must make the journey to the crumbling planet of the First House. Gideon is forced into pretending to be the cavalier of Harrowhawk, the heir to the Ninth House, when her current cavalier flees from the task. Gideon is quite a soldier, but she’s never trained with a rapier and isn’t exactly up on all the little politenesses–Harrow ends up ordering her not to speak to anyone in an effort to maintain the fiction. When they arrive, they find the place being run by three odd priests and a bunch of walking skeletons. They’re told that the only guideline of the process to become a Lyctor–the only clue at all–is that they must not open locked doors without permission. But despite the seeming ease of that simple guideline, it doesn’t take long before people start dying. Gideon is one of my most favorite main characters. She spends most of the story stalking around in a deep black robe with her face done up in skeleton makeup and her not speaking to anyone. The reason this is so wonderful is that Gideon is an absolutely irrepressible redhead who loves puns and crude humor. So when she finally busts loose it’s just a blast to behold. Harrow is really interesting as well; she seems at first to hate Gideon (Gideon is 18; Harrow is 17), but the relationship proves to be more complex than that. The “lesbian” part of “lesbian necromancers in space” is comparatively subtle in this book in the series, although it’s also very straightforward. Mostly it shows up in Gideon’s tendency to notice other women’s hotness and get distracted by long legs. I expect it’ll become a bit more central in the next novel. I like the way it’s presented as absolutely normal and not anything worth explaining, excusing, or hiding. The genre is really interesting. This is a space-faring society, so it’s science fiction. There’s necromancy, which reads like magic but clearly has some technological underpinnings, giving the story a distinct vein of fantasy running through it, especially because the aesthetics of the space-faring people are not heavy on technological doodads. Wood and marble, for instance, are much more common in the buildings of the First House planet than metal is. I’d also call this partially horror. There are certainly a lot of corpses, a variety of nasty monsters, and plenty of bloody death. One trick I really like is the way in which Gideon talks. She uses _very_ modern vernacular (e.g., “hug it out”). It works perfectly to show how she’s different from the important people around her, those who’ve been raised as royalty, and it gives her a verydistinctive feel.
There are obviously some interesting things about Gideon. She’s an orphan and no one knows where she’s from. There’s one exceedingly unusual event from her past, and another event that proves she isn’t entirely normal happens in the present. Then something happens toward the end that kind of seems to contradict where those other details were going. The book is carefully-enough written, however, that for the moment I’m trusting the author to get back to that mystery inthe next book.
My only problem with this book is that the next one can’t come soon enough. I stayed up until midnight reading, and that’s highlyunusual for me!

REVIEW: “HONOR LOST,” ANN AGUIRRE, RACHEL CAINE Posted on February 20, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Wonderful conclusion to the trilogy!CONS: …
RATING: 5 out of 5
NOTE: A website glitch caused me to lose this review, so I’m recreating it partially from memory and partially from what I have onAmazon.
Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine’s Honor Lost (Honors) is the conclusion to their wonderful Honors trilogy. Zara, Bea, Nadim, and the others have to stop Lifekiller, the god-king, from wiping out sentient species across the galaxy. He’s protected by the swarm of Phage, and he’s extremely powerful. Just to complicate things, crime boss Deluca sends Derry to kill Zara. He has the use of what is essentially an assassin bot. And EMITU, the med bot who travels with our heroes, seems to be developing a mind of his own. The relationship that has slowly been developing between Zara, Bea, and Nadim comes to fruition in this volume. As a content note, there’s not-very-explicit sex of the f/f/sentient-space-whale variety. It’s an incredibly beautiful and original poly and queer relationship that I love. It’s been a slow-burn relationship over three books with a very soft space whale, and it’s been absolutelylovely.
There are some great tense scenes in here, and even though it all takes place in space ships there’s still some hand-to-hand combat. Chao-Xing has an excellent and unexpected role to play. Everyone gets a lick in, including Suncross and his pals, Bacia, the blobby creatures from the Sliver, and even some of Earth’s military. I love what’s happening with EMITU, the medical bot on Namid. His snarky disposition–courtesy of Bea’s mischievous streak–is turning into something of a rebellious nature, and the crew is forced to interact with him a little bit differently than they have so far. He really comes into his own in this volume. Some tragedy does strike in between the moments of glory. I shed a few tears toward the end. I love this series a lot, and I’m sorry to see it come to an end! On the other hand, there’s something to be said for writers who know how to write a story arc with a good ending and call it done at just the right point.Posted in Reviews

REVIEW: “ENTER, NIGHT,” MICHAEL ROWE Posted on February 12, 2020by Heather — No
Comments ↓
PROS: Intriguing vampire story CONS: Ends oddly; strange balance of detailsRATING: 3 out of 5
Michael Rowe’s vampire novel Enter, Night is intriguing, but it has a bizarre structure that didn’t entirely work for me. Parr’s Landing is a tiny little Canadian mining town in the middle of nowhere. A mysterious man who hears a voice in his head is headed there, slaughtering people all along the way. Meanwhile, Christina Parr, her 15-year-old daughter Morgan, and her brother-in-law Jeremy are all heading back to Parr’s Landing from Toronto. Jack Parr, Christina’s husband, has died, leaving Chris and Morgan penniless. They’re forced to return to Jack’s mother, who is an absolute hag of a woman but who’s willing to financially support her granddaughter. As the Parrs try to eke out some sort of peace in the town that’s named after their family, an unholy evilcomes to town.
One of the weird things is that sometimes Rowe puts a lot of detail into characters that ultimately do not matter to the plot. It’s confusing and sometimes frustrating. There’s an entire sequence that starts the book that felt almost irrelevant to the rest of it, like a separate novella written as a prequel to a novel. The characters have a fair amount of depth to them. Jeremy is gay, which caused his mother to have him institutionalized when he was a teenager (the current story takes place in 1972, so this was quite a while ago)–the only thing she cared about was the scandal of it. Morgan is trying to navigate her own reaction to her grandmother (whom she’s never met before) and the way her grandmother is treating her mother and uncle. Her grandmother thinks Chris is a slut and a whore because she became pregnant with Jack’s child before they got married (and because Chris was of much lower social station than Jack). One of my favorite characters in here is Billy, or Dr. William Lightning, an anthropology professor and Native American who runs into some trouble with the police when he tries to warn them that he thinks a crazy, and deadly, man is headed their way. He and Chris make a connection. I also liked Finn, a 12-year-old neighbor who’s the first to figure out what’s really going on in town. Morgan, Billy, and Finn do a lot to make the story interesting. Unfortunately, there are other things that didn’t work for me. The end of Chris and Morgan’s part of the story leaves so many things unresolved, and thus feels incomplete. Then there’s another section that feels like, again, a separate novella, again a prequel but set 300 years earlier, when the vampires first attacked this area. The story is interesting, but it doesn’t fill in the holes left in the main tale. It ends up feeling like there are two novellas and a novel in this book, and the novel isn’t exactly complete. Content note for explicit sexual content (m/f and m/m), gore, and a whole LOT of anti-Native American bigotry. I know virtually nothing about the relevant groups of Natives, so I can’t say whether the depiction of them is at all on-point. But the man who narrates the final section of the book certainly thinks of the Natives purely as Savages, and while I’m sure that’s accurate to the time, it doesn’t make for enjoyable reading, and it definitely lends itselfto stereotyping.
