S. K. Epperson

I got this book as a free kindle download. It didn’t seem like my normal read, but the reviews were intriguing, and I have to say that I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Let me begin by saying that there was a LOT going on in this book. Not necessarily a bad thing. The author has a sense of humor and injects some oddball comedy into the book. Also not a bad thing. Then there’s the romance in the book, which I usually avoid like the plague, but I’m happy to report that I survived it and show more remain uninfected.

The writing style took some getting used to. The author (no idea if S.K. is male or female), does a lot of telling. Most writers will do the orbs popping out of the skull eye roll when they hear someone say, “show, don’t tell,” because sometimes you just want to write that someone is angry instead of describing their bulging veins, red face, clenched fists and narrowed eyes. But you do have to find some balance, and that lack of show/tell balance is one of the things that kept this from being a higher rated book for me. However, I would read something else by this author. 4 stars. show less

The horror is relatively mild in that what happens is very gruesome indeed but we don't see much of it. Well written and plotted with good characterisation, if this were my scene I'd look for others by the author, but in truth it isn't!

Very good beginning to what looks to be an extremely interesting e-serial. I've always been a sucker for the chapter novels and am looking forward to the suspense and anticipation of each episode as it is released.

Good mystery
