Status Updates From Dark Rivers of the Heart

Chapter 6: OK, the pace is picking up significantly. The constant P.O.V. switching in this Chapter was a bit of a brain rattler though.

Chapter 5: I don't think I'm enjoying the story, but I'm loving the way Koontz is telling it.

Chapter 4: I'm enjoying the Main Antagonist(?)s P.O.V. a lot more than the M.C.s at the moment.

Chapter 3: I love the Worldbuilding and the quirkiness of the characters, but I'm struggling to connect with this MC. As a reader I feel a little too detached from his thoughts/feelings/backstory.

Chapter 2: OK so if Chapter 1 is the "lead in" then Chapter 2 is definitely the "hook" because holy f**k was that insane.

Chapter 1: As opening chapters go, I honestly don't know how to feel about it. It was good, it was gripping, but it wasnt "hey, this is a book you NEED to read".

Love the way this is playing out so far, remindes me a lot of 'Necroscope' in both feel and tone.

"...and his tendency now was to expect savagery as surely as sunrises and sunsets." - Dean Koontz, Dark Rivers Of The Heart

That is such an interesting way to describe Trauma Response and I totally get the mentally behind it. It's one of those quotes where you go "that's exactly how it feels, but I've never thought of it like that".

Interesting opening, not sure how I'm suppost to feel about this MC.
