Nigh - Book 1 by Marie Bilodeau

3.0

I read this as part of my quest to get some of the shorter things off my to-read list and actually feel like I was making a bit of progress on it. Thankfully, it's free on Kindle, which was a nice surprise. An even better surprise was that it's well-written and pretty tightly plotted. However, I didn't really find it compelling either. I didn't form any attachment to any of the characters, and it took me almost a month to read this itty-bitty thing. I just didn't feel compelled it pick it up. There's not much to pinpoint as lacking, but I never got drawn in. And thanks to the format of the story, I will be leaving this story where it ends. This is a story that's sold in five parts, so although this installment ends without a terrible cliffhanger, the story is by no means complete. If I'd had the entire story in front of me, I probably would have continued and read the whole thing. But since I did not, and since this first part didn't really grab me, I think I'm going to count this as a good effort, but not for me.
