A review by blairconrad
The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch
2.0
A very interesting premise, and pretty exciting pacing.
Other than that, there's really nothing here. The characters were completely undeveloped and the prose was - at best - flat and uninteresting, with absolutely no personality. The dialogue was a travesty - wooden at best, and often reminiscent of a very dry encyclopedia entry.
Couple that with a tonne of typos (including a company name going from Halix to Halifax a mere 217 pages apart), and way too many POVs, and I was left with a book that I finished for the sake of finishing, not out of any particular enjoyment.
