A review by ellierichards90
Beneath the Rising by Premee Mohamed
2.0
To start with the positive, I liked the concept of this book - there was some cool cosmic horror going on.
However, the dialogue was a huge issue for me. The two main characters are supposed to be people in thier late teens, but they sounded more like someone trying to imitiate a young person (badly). They'd alternate between speaking like middle aged people and then throwing out ridiculous one liners. I think some reads would be able to move past the narrative style, but it was too much for me.
