A review by bhpurpletealdragon
Darkest Journey by Heather Graham
2.0
Really sick of this author always setting her books in the south and talking about the civil war as if that is her fave subject or she thinks it is original.
Had to skim the last part of the book and didn't read the sex scenes just to learn who did it and it was a boring end the spirits did rise as they did in the movie but it was so blah and so unneccessary. Anti climatic because you knew it was coming and they really didn't actually do anything.
The book was over 300 pages and it really only needed to be 180 or 190.
I normally like the Krewe books but not this one. They are formulaic which I like but they really do need to be shorter. I couldn't remember who was who and I didn't really have any investment in the story or the dead soldiers or anything since the civil war is not my thing and that stupid ghost at the graveyard could have told the woman who was doing the bad stuff but didn't. Its just a mess when you have characters who can talk to ghosts and you as an author try not to use them to solve the crime very easily.
