I have to be completely honest in my review....as I am with every book I review. I had a hard time getting through this book. It was translated to English from the original French....I'm not sure if it lost something in translation, but the story just fell a bit flat for me. Some of the horror scenes were bloodcurdling-ly awesome. But those scenes just aren't enough to carry the entire book. The writing style, slow plot, over-explanation, and thin characterizations pretty much threw off my enjoyment of this horror novel. The dialogue seems stilted in places because of word choices that people just wouldn't use in conversation, especially during an investigation. I never connected with the characters...they seemed like caricatures to me. The main character is described over and over again as a sexy, virile man that women love but he doesn't realize how awesome he is. And the details about his sexual encounters just seemed unnecessary. After awhile, I found him boring and pretty much unlikable.
Not every story is for every reader. And this one was not for me.
