Review title: A Trilogy?!
Product review: Please no! No more of this adjective laden, heavy-handed, gruesome and gratuitously violent writing for me. The plotting is tedious, trite and full of coincidences that would be individually hard to believe, but taken together they inevitably ask for too much suspension of disbelief on the reader's part.Dr. Sara Linton should be a strong female character--one that this genre lacks all too often. But she just ends up being a whiny and unbelievably drawn caricature of a woman we've seen all too often and none too flatteringly before. Her relationships and interactions with and reactions to the other characters lack the depth and realness that a better writer could convey.The only positive I could find would be in the author's ability to describe the small town feel of her part of the deep South along with its prejudices and secrecy. Ultimately a disappointment, considering the hype and protracted release fanfare, but perhaps some will take a chance on the next one.
