❥ Recension

Baksidetexten är onekligen lockande och boken började intressant, skrämmande och kittlande. Det är som en sci-fie/actionrulle i bokformat och är helt okej underhållning. Tempo - javisst, twist & turns - javisst, men det lyfter tyvärr aldrig för mig pga den icke existerande karaktärsutvecklingen. De är rätt platta och intetsägande och jag hade velat ha så mycket mer på djupet där för att det skulle kunna bli riktigt bra.
