This Town Sleeps by Dennis E. Staples
3.0
I feel as though I, like most people, picked this book up due to its uniqueness. I mean, how many other books are centered around a gay Ojibwe man who is quite literally being haunted?
This book is a quick read that is perfect for a rainy day. The story of Marion is entertaining, however, the way the story jumps between characters and back and forth through time can make things confusing and harder to follow. It also felt as though the ending was a bit rushed and didn't get the attention it deserved. To be clear, it's not the way the story ended that I didn't like, but how quickly it happened, and how little the author gave us at the end.
Overall, this book was definitely worth reading, I just felt as though the author was trying to do a lot and maybe not all of it translated in the end.
