Dead Ground door Chris Amies
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.Other reviewers have noted the stilted prose, banal plot, and one-note characters. The story idea has potential, and the Polynesian setting is interesting, but the finished product is dull.

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I won an Early Reviewers copy of this book and really thought I would enjoy it based on its supernatural theme. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time just getting through it. The book felt really disjointed, and for the first half I kept wondering if I skipped some pages here or there.
