Joseph McGee's spine-tingeling storytelling is captured again in the form of a terrifying thriller. Superb diction and character details create a landscape of horror that guides the reader to new plateaus of frightful fascination. Keep a light on while reading this one...

This review is from: The Reaper (Paperback)

This book was moving along quite nicely for about half the length. And then things got weird. The story of David trying to solve the mystery around Maggie's death is abruptly dropped and then replaced with several chapters of Reaper slayings that I couldnt really connect to the main story.

Too bad, the premise couldve easily stood alone as a full length IMO. The author painted a very chilling picture and I found myself checking down shadows in my living room from time to time.

All in all a wasted effort unless this is supposed to be part of a series or something.
