Review: Spooky and entertaining
Rating: 3 out of 5

I’m completely torn as I think about rating this book. Remnants of the Damned was dark, twisted, and full of suspense, the way good horror should be. The prologue is fast-paced and puts the reader right into the thick of things. Each chapter following is told from the perspective of each employee at the Pandora Cafe the night *it* happened. I found the design of this storyline extremely intriguing, and I was genuinely spooked several times, but the overlap in the individual stories became a bit too much and felt repetitive after a while.Parts of the story were entertaining in a way that it was so over-the-top you can’t help but be amused. The premise was really good and the author has potential, but there are certainly aspects of his writing style that need to be tweaked. However, I do plan to give this author another shot in the future because I was entertained by the story despite the flaws, and the cliffhanger makes it nearly impossible to resist the desire for more.
