I’m not hugely into the supernatural but this book started well and encouraged me to try something different. I haven’t read Michael Rutger’s first book where I believe we first meet the characters of Nolan and his film crew and his estranged wife Kristy but beyond occasional references to it I wouldn’t have even known about it so this can definitely be read as a stand-alone rather than sequel. The characters are all fairly easy to follow, not deep but they have enough quirks to have something about them although Alaina is somewhat more complex to understand. The storyline is original and whilst light on actual action it’s extremely well written with things always happening, there’s great descriptive text and it’s very easy to feel as though you’re in there with the characters. I found this an easy read overall, it’s dark yet engaging and the simplicity of the plot, whilst very well worked out, really works in its favour.
