“The Shining” caught …

At the City’s Edge by Marcus Sakey

It started out interesting, with an awesome opening action scene. But, unfortunately it didn’t last and I ended up reading a book that transforms into a cliché. The characters are so ordinary. Disgruntled main character, doomed side kick, child in distress. I don’t get it! Marcus Sakey had a …
