| Demian's Thoughts: |
I had fairly high hopes for this book since, at her best, Louise Munro Foley is an excellent writer. Unfortunately, I was a little bit disappointed. The book does have the benefit of a detailed and largely consistent plot, but it's just not all that compelling. The mystery aspect of the book never really intrigued me, and the horror elements failed to be particularly horrific. The book's awkward introduction of information about voodoo and Mardi Gras was also a problem, as were a couple of less-than-satisfying endings. Others might like this more than I did, but for me, it just felt like it was missing something, and it never really held my attention. |
