I received this book as an advance review copy from the author: I'm a fan in Indie authors, finding them quite often to be more creative than their brand name counterparts. I usually like to wait until they have a couple books under their belts before I before I read them, but the book trailer on this one grabbed me and I'm glad it did. Kosh has the chops to be a player in the world of the written word. I admit it took me a few pages to get into the flow because the book itself is written quite stylishly. When I first realized that between chapters Kosh was going to switch from first to third person narrative, I had my doubts as that is not an easy thing for an author to do and keep me interested, but I needn't have worried: Kosh's execution is flawless. Another thing odd here is the chapters don't have numbers, but titles instead. This actually works quite well as the majority of chapters could pretty much function as standalone stories.The overall vibe I got was what an amazing HBO series this would make. Ironic really as the book opens with a quote from "Bad Things" by Jace Everett (The theme song to HBO's TRUE BLOOD)Florida Glades, Indian spiritualism, demonic possession and enough darkness to bring it way up on the creep factor combined with some damn fine suspense, make this debut's author "One to watch!"Fair warning, it's not for the kiddies or faint of heart, there are some real sharp objects between these covers!
