The story had so much potential!

Revisado: 03-21-15

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone with lower standards? And I'm telling you, I truly lowered my bar in order to enjoy these thrillers/suspense books I have gotten into reading lately.

Has Fear the Darkness turned you off from other books in this genre?

This is what bothers me. I really like the premise, I think the story had so much potential. It was pretty original compared to other books I have read. I liked the idea of the main character and I think it could have been great if it hadn't been for the author's childish need of inserting ridiculous, retarded stories(basically bragging) of her previous work in the bureau. For example, the story had many moments of great suspense in which i was really caught in it and then out of the blue she would say something like: " I am not one to scare easily, having infiltrated in the Mexican cartel once blah blah" ughh ruining the moment. But I did find the story interesting and suspenseful and I wanted to know what was going to happen ( I am not one to stick with a book even if I don't like it, I just stop reading it) and kept me "on the edge" until the very end when a useless, totally unjustified. amateurish, twist is shoved into the story. Just for the sake of the twist. I don't want to say more and add spoilers but I felt cheated by the ending. Even with the bragging I would have still given it 3 stars but adding an illogical twist to a story is condescending and insulting to the reader.

Would you be willing to try another one of Suzanne Toren’s performances?

MMM I guess, yeah I would try another one.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Fear the Darkness?

The unnecessary bragging and cheap stories of her job in the bureau and the ending.
