Torchwood: Something in the Water by Trevor Baxendale
3.0
What do stagnant water, flu-like symptoms, and a Weevil dubbed Big Guy all have in common? A lot apparently. And something that sucks is that you don't see the exact connection until about 200 pages in... and this book is 249 pages long.
Something that I didn't like is that this book starts with Jack and Owen Weevil hunting, and the reader automatically thinks this was super important to the plot. No, no it is not. We then switch to Gwen and Tosh who are ghost hunting. It might have been me, but because the main story came second, I originally thought of it as less important and kind of blew it off.
This book does not have me craving for more. It is written well, but suspense wise, I am not impressed. The plot is original, and the villain, Saskia, is oddly sexy. 'Something in the Water' does not offer anything new about the main characters, except that Jack doesn't get sick.
