![]() ![]() The dichotomy of the ghost’s character was weird and issued huge red flags whether he be corporeal or not. I would probably have been more convinced by the ghost of Captain Jeremiah Brodie (who died in the mid 1800s) had it not been so sexually-driven (and into S & M). And I’m not sure why I can accept the lack of logic / realism on screen but not on the page?! ![]() ![]() Although I watch A LOT of science fiction and fantasy stuff on television I don’t read it. ![]() When other favourite authors of mine (Lisa Unger for example) have gone into the mystical I’ve struggled. The house is full of secrets, but is the creeping sense of danger coming from within its walls, or from somewhere else entirely? Something terrible happened, something she is deeply ashamed of, and all she wants is to forget.īut the old house on the hill both welcomes and repels her and Ava quickly begins to suspect she is not alone. When Ava arrives at Brodie’s Watch, she thinks she has found the perfect place to hide from her past. Genres: Paranormal / Fantasy / Sci Fi, Thriller / Suspense I did, however, finish the book which I guess says something about the fact that I realised there was some good ol’ crime fiction buried in there and wanted some sort of closure for our flawed but likeable protagonist. It dips into gothic otherworldly ghostly stuff which is a genre I don’t read and struggle to engage (with), so I confess my review is tainted by that. So… it has to be said, The Shape of Night is quite a departure from the Tess Gerritsen novel I was expecting. ![]()
