It wants a soundtrack by Wojciech Kilar

87. Wicked Saints – Emily A. Duncan

Sometimes this book seemed like a novel-length version of the opening scene from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There’s a lot of blood dripping, magic, religious wars, a worried lady, death, an evil dude who is trying not to be evil…or is he? It moved very slowly and while I was interested in a dark, grimy journey story like this with morally ambiguous characters, I lost interest at the end when it seemed like the romantic neediness was going to take over instead of any other part of the plot. I know it’s a teen series, but that direction gave me a case of the furrowed brows and I am not sure I’ll ever read the other two.

Like Hen Wen napping on the floor of her Halloween Fun House, reading that ending made me tired instead of having fun.
