In Characters of Huffinfield by Tina Marie L. Lamb, new resident, Lady Carmella, reports an incident involving a group of individuals who are part of a circus troupe that resides in town. When she is informed that it appears that the incident is only part of their rehearsals for their act, she decides to visit them to make amends for her misunderstanding. When she does, she is served a cup of tea that has been drugged. Fortunately, she had sent a message to her cousin about where she was going incase anything happened to her.

The author of this book has created some rather unique characters for this story and while the plot is intriguing, I found myself getting lost in trying to follow all of its twists and turns. Although the author uses very innovative storytelling to bring a new dimension to this book, I found it to be a bit more macabre than what I generally read. Overall, I would say that this book would appeal to fans of Stephen King due to the various situations addressed within its pages.

I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing and the author and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was difficult to read. It started quite well, the first chapters were fun.
Until about one third of the book, it as a nice read. Then the book seemed finished to me, but it went on. It took me quite some time to get in the flow again.
But I did, until about two third of the book. Then the book became more and more an enumeration. A pity.
The book is still quite worth reading, because of the strange character and the not so normal characters of the population of Huffinfield. ( )

This book had an interesting premise, but was so bloated with characters and jumpy transitions that it was nearly impossible to follow what was happening. If you read this, you might want to make a list or chart for the characters mentioned. It moved very swiftly, since there was no detail or atmosphere or backstory narrative, just the action happening at, or pertinent to, that moment. There was simply too much going on, which was ambitious, but difficult to read. ( )

Well first off I must admit I didn't finish the book. It is dark, gruesome, violent, and downright creepy. I couldn't keep all the characters straight, and the story seemed disjointed. i liked the good guys, Carmella, her cousin Nancy, and the inspector, but i had trouble reading all the violence and abuse. It seemed like too many stories piled on top of each other. Just not my cup of tea. ( )

Characters of Huffinfield by Tina Marie L. Lamb might appeal to people who focus on dark, evil, violent things but that didn’t appeal to me. There are way too many characters to keep track of and the book needs editing. Names are spelled differently in different places and words are used improperly.

In all fairness, I didn’t finish the book because it was too depressing and creepy to spend any more time on it. ( )
