review 1: I'm a born and raised Californian and I can't think of a single movie or book that I've ever read or seen that doesn't make the Louisiana Bayou a really creepy place. This books is no exception. There are some seriously creepy and scary scenes in this book. Duplechain sets up a moss covered world filled with dark creatures that are constantly coming at the main character, invading her dreams, threatening her reality, and generally making the readers skin crawl. There are some story points that invade that world that I found derivative and distracting, but not so much that I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone wanting to get their scare on, because its good scary fun.
review 2: This was an okay book. Well written, with interesting characters and the auth... moreor really brings the "south" alive. There were a few glaring points where the cop/love interest suddenly knows things the heroine has not yet had time to tell him and a few occasions where the characters are doing things that don't make sense without a lot more convincing. While the bad guy is definitely scary, for as powerful as he seems he's rather easily defeated in the end. I see a lot of potential for this series but I probably won't read more. less
