Portraits of the Dead by John Nicholl
2.0
This is a case of zero to sixty. I read book two before I read this book. That book was the "sixty" and this one was sadly the "zero". I was drawn to this book for the cover and the author. The cover is one of the best I have seen in a long time. It is super creepy. Since I had read book two and absolutely loved that book.
What surprised me about this one is that I was not feeling the characters or the storyline. The story moved really slowly without much happening. I commented that Mr. Nicholl is great as it is not about the story but the characters. He allows the characters to shine. They didn't really shine for me. Yet, because this is the first book; it seems that the bugs were worked out in the second one that I raved about.
