Review: Weak
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 12 4, 2012
This was a free Kindle read.The story begins on a weak premise. Four people off on a vacation and they stuck in a blizzard. How many times have we seen this setup? Along comes something the author calls "they." A mysterious entity emerges from the storm. We've tread this ground. There was little development of the creatures and it left the story feeling hollow.The writing itself was stilted and clunky. Repetitious phrases (road is used three times in the first very short paragraph alone). Commas appear in very odd and awkward places, giving the narrative a very choppy feel. There are a lot of clunky phrases here that break down the flow as well. This could have used far better editing. Far too frequent lines such as "his face was as white as the snow outside" lacked creativity and did little to spark my imagination or fear.There was little suspense and nothing new here. I had the story figured out far too early. Disappointing even for a free read.
