Cusp of Night by Mae Clair – 4-Stars
Publisher: Lyrical Underground, Kensington Publishing Corp.
ISBN: 9781516107278
I
suppose I have read too many other good books in the genre of Mysteries,
Thrillers, Fantasies, and Horror to get excited by this book. The Pros are its
well written and organized and you want to keep reading to see what happens
next. However, this paranormal novel focuses mainly on the life of a
genetically challenged “blue lady”, a result of a parent match of a rare
recessive gene, her adventures as a medium and her unimportant married life,
and how to perform “fake” séances. More development of side characters may have
been way to create some eeriness and contributed importance to the main
characters that themselves provided nothing excitingly special. The plot
typifies a the average paranormal story, but is fairly predictable. It did not
contain enough suspense and horror, given a “mysterious” Fiend, to warrant a
5-star. However, I would put this into the cozy or
read-curled-up-in=front-of-the-fireplace novel category. Although I expected
much more given the blurb, it is so well-written, I must give it at least 4-Stars.
