Homecoming
I took a chance on Scott Langrel's "Homecoming". When I started the book I felt like I made a mistake. But I'm prejudiced against books that aren't famous and I'm mad at myself for that so I continued to read.
The verdict: this is a very enjoyable book. Scott Langrel's prose flows and is unflawed. I also appreciated that this book is so short. The shortest book I've read recently was around 350 pages, the books before that topped 500 and 600 pages. The brevity of "Homecoming" was very refreshing. In just over a 100 pages Langrel manages to tell his story.
And what a gem of a story it is. Centered around a paranormal handler named Finn McCoy and the small town of Shallow Springs under a slow assault from the Fey known as the Sluagh. This is a horror book with an number of supernatural elements but the prevailing feeling I got while reading it was not horror but adventure. The pacing was brisk and the plot twists unexpected. A really good and fast ride.
