Review: Very Good Crime Fiction
Rating: 4 out of 5

I had high hopes for this books. I love paranormal thrillers, but the genre has been flooded by unoriginal imitations, regardless of the medium. Whether it’s in film, tv, or novelization, you’d be hard pressed to find a fresh take. Although my hopes weren’t dashed, “A Passing Curse” hardly the cynical, dark, and stylized crime drama set in a paranormal fantasy world, I had hoped for.Playing out like a detective novel, there are plenty of twists and turns to be had. The story suffers a bit because so much is going on in the plot that the reader is not given depth. However, the realistic depictions of the characters and their investigation offer a refreshing seriousness to this paranormal fantasy. “A Passing Curse” is a very good crime fiction in its own right and the inclusion of the supernatural adds an element of excitement.
