The main character was annoying...the story felt like it wasn't going anywhere 😕

This book is excellent, a dark ghost story, book 2 in the David Ash series, after 'Haunted' which you don't have to read before this one, but I'd recommend reading it first, it give you more background the the main charactor. for those that have read Haunted, this has the same feel, but darker and on a bigger scale.

I’m sure this is great for some people but I found it a really weak book. I was bored, I wasn’t that interested in picking it up and almost DNF. I swear I loved it as a teen, so this was quite disappointing for me.

The characters all tend to blend into each other, with at least one early lead disappearing for most of the book. Herbert doesn't/didn't write well about love/lust, his scary bits aren't very scary and the surprises were telegraphed long before they happened.
But, and it's a big BUT, Herbert is a great comfort read.

Je suis plutôt mitigée sur ce coup !
Ce roman avait tout pour me plaire, mais le manque d’originalité m’a un peu déçue. L’intrigue est prévisible, on devine le gros secret assez vite, trop vite, et on attend juste que le personnage principal mette le doigt dessus. On ne s’ennuie pas, mais peu s’en faut. On passe un bon moment, mais le côté glauque et sordide est bien faible, on a du mal à s’imaginer une campagne anglaise envahie de fantômes par un temps de canicule. La fin apocalyptique est sans surprise. Pas mal, mais pas mirobolant.
