Ghost Mine by Hunter Shea
4.0
Reading this book I got exactly what I expected, and wanted! I knew Hunter Shea was all about the creature feature, and this had an abundance of them. 2/3 of the way through the book, I was actually wondering how he was going to bring it all together in the end, but he did it well. It was a wild ride, and since I'm still relatively new to horror books, I found myself googling things often. The book is about the rough riders going to explore an abandoned mine, but he also brings in a lot of lore, and it all works really well together.
I loved the characters and the pacing but the main issue I had was in the flow between the chapters. Many of the chapters ended with a sentence to draw you into the next chapter that essentially said, "but things got worse..." the first two times drew the intended reaction, but the many subsequent times desensitized me and frankly, it wasnt needed. The story itself was gripping enough that it didnt need that extra grabbing sentence.
Give this one a try if you want a fun and wild western mining hell ride.
