The Hole Behind Midnight by Clinton Boomer

3.0

When I started reading this, my first thought what , “I’m not going to like this” and I was at a few times proven wrong and got really into the action. However, the plot was so hard to follow, the backstories very complex and off putting for a first novel, and as much as I appreciated an asshole main character he was very limited. Though witty and able to create complex plans in a moments notice, just no growth and was very much tiring in his melancholia.

I loved the American Gods Vibe of this book and that it featured so much history but for me the Action spin was just too much and something I’m not personally into. A lot of the story jumped all over the place and it was hard to keep up with what was happening plot wise.

If you like action, comedic writing and history/legends this is an amazing book. If any of those things are your thing you’ll probably be in the same boat as me, and enjoy it but not love it.
