Thriller The Evil Inside 3 Stars After enjoying the previous book, Sacred Evil, I had hopes for the series but unfortunately Graham has regressed and The Evil Inside continues in the same mediocre vein as the first two installments. The book is in serious need of editing as the numerous grammatical and spelling errors, and repeated sentence structures detract from the overall reading experience. The historical background on Salem and the Witch Trials is fascinating but too much emphasis is placed on political correctness and warnings against prejudice. The murder plot is one of the more absorbing and exciting in the series but it is easy to guess the culprit as the mystery unfolds and more characters are introduced. The paranormal elements are not effectively merged into the suspense story, which may have been even more compelling without them. The romance is almost an afterthought - Sam and Jenna have virtually no chemistry and the obstacle to their relationship (i.e. Sam's difficulty accepting Jenna's gift) is quickly glossed over. It seems that the next book has a completely different set of characters so I'm willing to give it a try even though Heather Graham is a very hit/miss author for me. This book has a very interesting story line, which is difficult to get through when you're constantly being hit over the head with it's various themes. The same information about the Salem Witch Trials is presented multiple times from the perspective of each character, in the same chapter. The author repeatedly slams the reader over the head with the bible. There is a completely unnecessary romance sandwiched in between the male and female lead characters. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Some deaths live on forever For as long as it has stood overlooking New England's jagged coastline, Lexington House has been the witness to madness...and murder. But in recent years the inexplicable malice that once tormented so many has lain as silent as its victims. Until now... A member of the nation's foremost paranormal forensic team, Jenna Duffy has made a career out of investigating the inexplicable. Yet nothing could prepare her for the string of slayings once again plaguing Lexington House--or for the chief suspect, a boy barely old enough to drive, much less kill. With the young man's life on the line, Jenna must team up with attorney Samuel Hall to pinpoint who--or what--is taking the lives of those who get too close to the past. But everything they learn brings them closer to the forces of evil stalking this tortured ground. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
