Synopsis:
When a teenage boy gets a copy of a contraband video game, he soon learns that Erebos and the real world are bleeding together with deadly results.
Review:
Erebos was a fun, fast read with good plotting and a well-realized game world. It was pretty straightforward in its execution and I’m not sure I’m totally satisfied by the ending but it was a fun read nonetheless.
Synopsis:
When a child turns up gruesomely murdered, the midwife is accused as a witch, and the local hangman must turn up the real culprit or else torture and execute his innocent friend.
Review:
The Hangman’s Daughter seems to be one of those books that everyone is talking about, probably because the price on Amazon is so low.
I enjoyed the historical detail from 17th Century Germany but the plot really let me down. It became a rather run-of-the mill thriller of the kind that doesn’t particularly interest me. I loved the characters and the world but found myself rushing through the end.
