Good story but noticing a pattern.

Revisado: 11-10-20

This is only my second book I’ve listened to by Mr. Little, but I’m finding a similarity I’m finding hard to look past in his books. I believe in giving positive with negative feedback so here it goes. Again Mr. Little created a world with likable and relatable characters. His world is vivid and clear, an excellent world builder.

The negative however is after only two books I’m seeing a pattern. I will look for another book to give another go but I find the similarity too large to ignore. *spoiler ahead*.

The author seems to have a love of giving the main protagonist the role of the hero only for it to always be bittersweet. I’m not asking for a HEA but the first book I read involved the protagonist committing suicide to save the day. In this book his love interests partner decided to up and disappear because “reasons”. If I know every book of his is going to end this way it becomes overly predictable, akin to knowing 99% of Dean Koontz books will involve a blonde and a dog. I’m also noticing that the fantastical elements are rarely explained. Now in real life I know every question doesn’t always have an answer however, Between tragic hero endings and no payoff I’ve walked away from two books now not feeling quite satisfied.

This book overall was entertaining but I fear this author is ultimately seeming too predictable.

Pretty standard haunted house story but entertaining.

Revisado: 10-20-20

Good story though the random out of left field sex scenes that sounded akin to Gilbert Godfrey reading 50 shades of Grey was a bit much.

I feel like the main characters were fleshed out and enjoyable though I feel the reasoning behind targeting the kids never was explored or even really resolved in that it was a big issue.. till it wasn’t only to be a big issue again after a pretty big chunk of the story. The ending definitely had a twist I wasn’t expecting though I must admit after thinking on the ending a few hours it still ended in a very haunted house ending trope.

Overall I was entertained and I’ll check out more by the author.

A series that went on too long.

Revisado: 04-22-19

Johanna Parker is again a fantastic voice for Sookie. The story however, is showing how thin it’s gotten. While I love this series it arguably went on for a few too many books. Wether this is the fault of burn out by Ms. Harris or her yearly release schedule to get these books out I don’t know, but the books after 5 or 6 really start suffering.
