Shadows in the Sand
(Finn McCoy Series Book 2)
Book Review
By Scott Langrel
Finished 2-24-2019
Genre: Supernatural thriller
Basic Plot: Finn McCoy is not a normal detective. He has paranormal sensitivity and uses that to help others. This time, he’s headed to an old friends down in South Carolina to investigate some strange drownings. What happens down there, is new and terribly frightening.
Overall, this is pretty well written and intriguing. It’s a fun short read that will keep you entertained with the quickness of the story line and strange happenings. It has a Supernatural season one type vibe of hunting and killing crazy creatures that gives it a fun experience when facing new cryptid creatures. Although creative, nothing was particularly amazing about it but there was nothing notably negative either. Some of the relationships feel a little rushed since it is such a short read but due to the circumstances the characters find themselves in, it is more understandable. There’s a few notable twists which were intriguing but nothing exclusively nail biting, edge of your seat, exciting.
I gave this a 3 out of 5. It’s fun and fast paced but overall nothing really swaying it to being a great book but nothing dragging it down either. I would say this is a good series to read if, like me, you need a different focus from a story with a lot of depth, or just want something to read in an afternoon.
