The Reaping by Bernard Taylor

3.0

An enjoyable, breezy little book that takes its time getting to the supernatural bits. The first half pretty much reads like a gothic romance, and then it suddenly takes a turn towards thriller. It never quite reaches full-on horror, which was a surprise (given that it's part of the Paperbacks from Hell series) but I thought it was good airplane reading. Definitely makes a nice contrast to the gross-out horror of [b:The Nest|5499702|The Nest|Gregory A.

This series continues to delight.
