“A Passing Curse” by C.R. Trolson hooked me with the first chapter. Death, intrigue, cops, and hospitals. It was everything I wanted in an opening chapter. And then, the chapter that followed threw me for one of the biggest loops I have ever been on. That basically sums up this novel. Lots of interesting stories and characters but everything seems cluttered and congested. And just when I thought I knew what was going on, Vampires. “A Passing Curse” does a good job of throwing twists and new story elements in your face however it tends to make you feel like you are lost on more than one occasion. At some times it felt like I was reading a choose your own adventure book. Only mines was missing a few pages. It never felt like just another vampire novel with the amount of blood and gore that filled it. It does a good job of separating itself from that pack, even if it seems to be all over the place at times. 4/5.
