Review: Heart of the Mummy by JD Sampson
Heart of the Mummy by J.D. Sampson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
• Well, I thought there'd be a lot more haunting and mummy presence than there was
• The foot fetish thing was not appreciated - I like to be warned about kinks like this rather than just suddenly foot
• hilarious that Tarantino got name dropped tho
• There was a lot of time spent on Eli and the history of the studio and it's construction etc, and it took over the book
• I didn't feel the romance at all, no connection for me between the characters
• There was no real sense of priority in the plot - what matters? Everything is given the same level of attention
• Lots of plot lines, no real development: there's an evil family, some Tragic Past(???), um.....man I don't even know. There's a lot of stuff and it is left hanging (presumably this will continue in the series?)
• On the whole I could follow the plot line, as it was fairly straightforward...but sometimes, things made absolutely no sense page to page. Just paragraphs where I was ?????
Overall, this was lacking focus - it focused on everything and left what could/should have been the main plot kind of chopped up and as an afterthought.
