Review: Good but sort of familiar...

I did very much enjoy Nowhere Blvd. I just found myself thinking the whole time, it was so similar to a novel I'd already read. It bugged me enough I had to dig through my old paperbacks until I found it. Not going to list it here as I'm sure it's a coincidence...but just a caution to the author, it's pretty darn similar to a pretty famous author's work.That said, I don't want to give it a poor review because (with the exception of the numerous spelling errors) it really is so engaging and well-written. I've read both the Abyss books also and enjoyed them. I do think Ryan Notch is a very talented and promising writer. Hopefully he will enlist the services of a professional editor because the problems with "too" vs. "to" , breathe" vs "breath"  constantly distract and remind the reader that they are reading a self-published novel. Honestly had those errors not been there, I would have been just as engaged as if I were reading King or many other well-regarded horror writers. Best wishes to the author and I do hope to read many future endeavors.
