I am not sure how this story got onto my iPad, but the initial write-up and the desire to read a fantasy was something that intrigued me.

But then I read the book. At the present it is free, and I hope for future readers it remains so. This is not a full story. Full stories are blessed with a beginning, a middle and an end.

Here we have a beginning. And then you want me to tell you that there is at least a middle...

But I can't do that. There are way too many pages that still only sets us up for a middle. There are way to many extraneous things happening, the laying down of additional plot lines that take many pages.

And then who are our heroes? Why should we like any of them?

It appears the next book is free as well. I may one day pick that up just to see if it gets better. Some things are good, but too much is disappointing when I look at how much time it took to read to get where the author ended it. Even should their be redemption in book 2, or even a good conclusion should I buy book 3, this will never be a reread.… (més)

I'm having to review my personal policy on first person, first-tense reads - they used to irritate the daylights out of me.

When I realised this was in that format I thought I'd be switching to another book after a chapter. Instead, this story kept me up late and nearly made me miss my stop twice.

I've seen the lower rated reviews on this book; but have to say it's one of the best I've read in a while; for me the characters were rich, detailed and pretty entertaining.

Tommy is a man haunted by guilt, in more ways than one. Dangerous as his situation is , it's about to get a whole lot worse.

I can't give too much away without going into spoilers, but can say this is a very intense, character-driven read, and a great twist on the ghost tale. Some heavy language and a bunch of scenes that will have your heart in your mouth wondering what will happen next.

Highly recommended.… (més)
