Review: Could have been so good

This is one of those books that could have been so good but it is ultimately disappointing. It starts well and is mainly the relationship between a mother and her baby, the twist is that the baby has not yet been born, so this puts it firmly in the science fiction camp. For most of the book this works very well and you get a real feel for the main characters. It however dates itself as it includes a prophecy of doom, hence the title, unfortunately the date given is 2012 so we know it did not happen which weakens the story. Towards the end and it is very near the end the author seems to decide it is time to turn this into an action novel and this just does not suit the style of the rest of the book. It is all very well having an evil secret society but not so secret that the reader does not know anything about it until very near the end.A book with great potential but it is not fulfilled.
