Helpful Score: 2
This was more of a mystical thriller that keeps you moving forward as to what will happen to the missing women of New
Orleans. You can almost feel the mystery developing under the humid nights of the French Quarter.
The story line is very good. BUT, there is always a but. There maybe too much going on, the story seems to be just a little
to cluttered. If you tighten up the characters more. It was hard for me to feel involved in the story or main characters.
There's the Millets' psychic abilites, which leads to mental conversations between them interspersed with conversations with
"normal people", there's their ancester, Jude, who, unbeknownst to them is residing as a spirit in their attic and keeping
tabs on them, there's Gray's suppressed history and the "bonding" business, there's a group of disembodied voices called
"ushers" that guide Marley at times, there's a race of non-human bad guys called Embran, who hatch from eggs, live inside
the earth and look like Komodo Dragons of all things! There was little or no suspense as to who the "bad guys" were; I mean
really, who ELSE could it have been?
Bottom line, much as I admire Cameron's writing, I'd recommend not to finish the series.
