briyanadyer's review against another edition
3.75
Thanks so much to Vesuvian Books and Monique Snyman for the complimentary copy and I am voluntarily writing a review.
Dark Country follows an an occult expert and her team in South Africa as they try to try down a murderer who is suspected of a spree of ritualistic mutilations and killings.
I enjoyed this book overall. The premise of the book initially caught my attention and it was interesting to learn more about South African history of ritual killing and muti. I was really engrossed in the beginning, however the pacing didn’t quiet work for me and I found myself disengaging in the middle portion of the book before I got back into it with the ending. I did like the main character, Esme, overall but it was a bit vexing having her continuously rush into decisions and situation that she knew she was not prepared for. Overall, I thought it was an interesting read and would recommend it as a crime/horror hybrid.
