Of all the books I've read of Laymon (that I can remember) this is the least violent.
We've follow a couple and the sister of the woman plus the stepmother and the friend of the father of the girls. 5 Characters total.
First of all, calling this Horror is a stretch. It's a thriller. A fast pace thriller with a mix of a mystery.
So we've got Melanie that has a seizure and sees her sister\father having an acident. Being that the last time she had her mother died she returns home with Bodie (the boyfriend). Right from the start you kind understand there is some beef between both sisters. Melanie says that every boy that she loved (and dated) has switch to the hot sister (Pen). Bodie says that will not happen. So they arrive home where they understand what it was their father who had accident. The new wife starts to behave a little strangely as she invites her husband colleague to help her. Meanwhile Pam has been receiving hardcore sexual threats.
The story progress kind of what you expect from Laymon. Some more or less graphic sexy scenes and one thing is sure in all of his books, he can built tension.
Unfortunately you kind know what is going to happen. I am going into spoilers as soon as you see the hot sister you know that Brodie is going to be with her - the only thing that you don't know is how. As I've said men reading this want to identify with him BUT you want a clean mind getting into her - so you know something is going to happen to the sister - either killed or she finds someone else and he is free to be with the hot girl. Well she becames a crazy woman.... touché. .
I kind understand why people would not enjoy his stuff- he makes beautiful hot woman to drool over and one guy that you imagine it's you. What's the difference between this and the Romantsy genre? NONE! So why all the crap against him? I enjoy it. But not my favourite
