Received a copy as part of an honest review. The writing in this is really good but I couldn't connect to the protagonist. Couldn't tell if it is because the story is so short so you don't get time to get to know her or she is generally unlikeable. The story concept is interesting but not overly so. And at times it seems if parts of the book are just to move the plot along but wouldn't happen in real life for example (spoiler) would you take your 4 year old to daycare within 24 hours of a traumatic event happening?! I doubt it. And I doubt the child would do well if you did. It doesn't have to be realistic but I do need some semblance of the characters acting like real people. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I liked this book. It was a change of pace from similar themes and reminded me more than a bit of the TV show Grimm. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. "Ok" is about the best I can do for this short book about California cyptids (think NJ Devil) that make an appearance again and start threatening the populace. Mack Galvin, cyptid hunter, is on the case and looking for evidence of the beings he can use on his popular TV show. When Mack disappears without any word, his estranged daughter and university professor, Kate, and his granddaughter go searching for him. What Kate finds will shake her scientific foundation and sets in motion a wild chase through the remainder of the book.I was initially intrigued by the subject matter, but my interest level never deepened because of shallow characterization and limited plot setting. In addition, the main protagonist, Kate, is not a very likable character. I would have liked to have found out more about her father's passion, but the author did not delve into that either. Maybe the author was working on a page count because there was so much more he could have done with this story if he would have fleshed it out more. The book is passable, at best, because it's a short read and fans of this genre may find some redeeming value in it. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The plotline of this novel is good but the way it is written is not doing it any favors.
It really comes off as the author is showing off what they know about academia, too many info dumps about tiny segments of science. It did not add anything to the story and just came off wrongly.
Some parts just get passed by quickly and others get dragged on, like when running away from a cryptid. Some words are repeated 5 or 6 times with other descriptors used.Kid is taken, and the mother never really questions what the kid really saw or blows her off as 'kid' stuff. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The concept of this story is intriguing but the writing was not. In the first of the story, I couldn’t get past the part where she let a 4 yr old wander by herself in the mountains and just said to not wonder off. Then she let her walk over to the edge of a platform by herself. The when the main character is running away from the bad creatures, she throwing her daughter over her shoulder and runs with her that way. You don’t carry a child that way. What mother does this? I couldn’t read anymore of it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesSystema Paradoxa (13)
There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.***Astrophysicist Dr. Kate Gavin Weaver's life was hard enough fighting for tenure at Caltech while raising a four-year-old daughter as a single mother. It was even harder living under the shadow of her estranged father, Mack Gavin, the host of the wildly popular television series, The Cryptid Hunter.But when Mack disappears while researching the subject of his next episode in the secluded wilderness town of Lone Pine, California, Kate decides to leave the relative safety of Pasadena to find her father.What she uncovers there shakes the very foundation of her reality and forces her to grapple with an adversary she could've never imagined.
