whitneymj 's review for:
Wolfhunter River
by Rachel Caine
I read and quite enjoyed the first two books in this series, Stillhouse Lake and Killman Creek. I wonder if I enjoyed them more because I listened to both, at least in part, in audiobook format. Reading the physical book made me realize that I don't enjoy Rachel Caine's writing. Her sentences are short, sometimes choppy, and completely littered with metaphors.
Opening to a random page:
"One left. Nobody holding me back. I don't feel pain right now. I feel a deep, almost sickening joy that I'm laying these guys out. And he can see it."
"She's a frozen lake of a woman, with something dark swimming deep beneath the surface."
Literally everything feels like overkill. HOWEVER, the last hundred pages or so were just as engaging as the rest of the series and had me staying up late to finish. If it's a matter of plot vs. prose, the plot wins out here.
