A review by mmorton
Daylight Saving by Edward Hogan
4.0
For the most part, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It is a mystery, thriller, and paranormal romance all in one. I'm thrilled to see yet another male protagonist in this type of book. In a genre dominated by female protagonists, this book is a nice change of pace.
While the paranormal aspect was a large part of the narrative, it was not the driving theme of the story. The concept of coping with a broken family is the real focus, which makes the story more accessible, or realistic, than most paranormal thrillers/romances.
I found the setting to be unique, however, I often questioned if such a place actually exists.
I was fortunate enough to be granted an advanced reader copy of this book. As a result there were a few formatting issues and misspellings in the e-book I read. I trust these were resolved for the September release.
Overall, I feel this book stands out from the pack of paranormal teen novels.
