This book was weird, odd and everything else in between. And for that, I kinda loved it. I love the small town vibes and the characters. 

Didn't love hearing about how fat Diane was though. Could've left that out. Apparently, Phil doesn't like fat women.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Two and a half. I recently remembered that I really liked Phil Rickman and got this from the library. Ugh. Still going to start the Merrilee Watkins series from the beginning, but this was disappointing. Still better than your run-of-the-mill horror, with well-developed characters that you care about, but the plot was all over the place, the middle dragged majorly and once I ploughed through just to be done the end was rushed and unsatisfying.

The first Phil I ever read. It was a head game.
