Okay, I'm still playing review catch-up, and since I'm road-tripping with my bestie from the 4th grade, I figured I'd post another today :)
And don't forget, the TRAVELERS giveaway is still running if you're interested!
Okay, on to the book!
I had Grave Sight recommended to me by a friend who said it reminded her some of my Coincidences book, and I can totally see the commonalities. A strange ability, a pair of characters who deny their feelings for one another, a dangerous job to complete--this was definitely a fun read :) Harris' writing has always struck me as a little bland, and I often find myself feeling like she's skirting the surface of her character's emotions and situations, to the extent that I don't really feel like I'm there with them and am more just an observer. It's kind of like while watching a movie or program, when you walk into it and find yourself observing the film and what's going on, more than being immersed in the story. It's not bad, just my personal take on how I've experienced her books. I still really enjoyed this one though and will definitely pick up the rest of the series, if mainly because I'm seriously curious about Harper and Tolliver!
Have you had a chance to read this one? Or any of Harris' work?
Also, my publisher is putting together a blog tour for TRAVELERS and asked me to see if anyone wanted to join in. So many of you have been SUCH amazing help with all the rest of the release stuff, so no pressure on this, m'k? Just throwing it out to the universe!
Submitted the form. I've never read any of Charlaine Harris's stories, but this one does sound interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteAll signed up! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteSigned up! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Harris's books, but this does sound intriguing. I can imagine there are some circumstances that she learns about that probably cause some problems!
I haven't read any of her work, though I certainly do know of her.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this series and wished she had written more in it. Apparently, due to the research involved, she gave up on this series :-( Also, I have signed up for your blog tour ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I signed up or not, so I submitted just now. I haven't read this author yet, but I've heard good things about her books.
ReplyDeleteI've not read Harris, though I did watch some of True Blood. Though it quickly became a bit much for my tastes. =) I'd love to try out those books sometime (the Sookie ones). But I am a bit curious about that cover. It seems so...strange. Not what I would expect for them to come up w/for a NYT bestseller, yanno? Imho anyway! =)
ReplyDeleteCharlaine's Shakespeare series of mysteries centering on an emotionally scarred rape victim, trying to piece together her life and the mysteries that threaten her refuge in another city were excellent. In fact, they are the only novels of Ms. Harris that I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteCharlaine Harris as in TRUE BLOOD Harris?
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I had a displeasure of having to translate that vampire saga of hers for my publisher and she is probably the worst writer I've ever read.... and the most superficial one too :) to the point of being ridiculous.
