A review by beastreader
The Raven by Jeremy Bishop

2.0

Jane Harper sets sail with a crew for the North Atlantic. Something is happening to the whales there. The crew is going to find out what is happening and get a sample. Only the crew gets shipwrecked on an island in the Arctic. They are not alone. The draugr roam the island. The draugr are walking zombies.

I got really excited about reading this book even though I have never read the first one, The Sentinel. This book was a let down for me. It was slow going and not a lot of action. I was expecting to be kept on the edge of my seat with action. This did not happen. There was just a lot of dialect. Makes me think of the country song by Toby Keith “A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action”.

For this type of book I want just that…more action, horror, and for the characters to kick some major ass. If this does not happen than I don’t stick around for the end.
