The Dead Room
We went to the library today so I could pick up the books that were on hold for me (only 7 today - I'm slacking), and one of those was ,em>The Dead Room. I started reading it after we got home, planning to get through just a few chapters before I tackled the basket of laundry that needs to be folded and put away, but once I was into the story, I didn't want to stop reading. (Part of that was because the story was pretty good, but I have to be honest, the other part was because I REALLY did not want to start on the laundry just yet.) It's a paranormal adventure story by Heather Graham, and I thought it was pretty good. I liked the characters, I liked the plot, and I really liked that there didn't seem to be anything thrown in as a token (character, scene, etc.). There were a couple of sex scenes that seemed a hair out of place, but, whatever.
*** SPOILERS ***
I hated the ending. HATED. I do not like it when a relationship starts to form throughout a book but then one of the couple dies at the end. I have gotten attached to these people, y'all. I am interested in their future, in the outcome of this relationship. I CARE, DAMMIT. This one was better than some because at least the heroine was reunited with her fiance' in the afterlife (he died in the prologue, and that made me tear up a bit too), but I still would have rather skipped the relationship build-up since it was going to go nowhere seeing as how she DIED AT THE END.
