I really enjoyed M.C. Sumner's trilogy (The Principal, The Hunger, The Coach) and the absolutely terrific Deadly Stranger, but unfortunately, this was an utter bore!
Shiloh Church attends an archaeological dig looking for Paleo-Indian artifacts. And that's about it for 170 pages. There's obviously something going on in the cave the dig is excavating in, but we certainly don't learn much about it. We barely learn anything about the creatures (collectively known as "The Dark"), how they came about, what they want...they pop up every now again in the final 40 pages or so, and even then don't do a great deal.
I can't say much more than that. This is an absolute snorefest. As a creature feature, it barely has any of the said creatures. As a thriller, barely anything interesting is happening. I kept on reading, waiting for something to happen, and nothing did.
