mysterious
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
When I read the blurb, I was immediately intrigued and thought of a dark, sinister version of the slimy goo from Ghostbusters II.
What you'll get is so much moreā¦
Corruption, greed, avoidance, hatred, manipulation, vengeance
All the classics that make a horror story with a unique eco-villain that feeding on psychological "trauma."
Yet, the thriller of the story is lost within the various point-of-views. I eventually lost track, but there's no less than 6 different perspectives and all of their individual interactions. Basically, dozens of people pulled into the story that might not have been needed?
But, I do have to say, I did like Cathy. She reminded me a lot of Anne Heche's character in Volcano ('97).
