And if you do, I recommend Scott Sigler's books (similar genre and even better).
How was Midwinter Sacrifice? I was slightly put off by the Amazon reviews as it only got 3.4 stars there (although Amazon isn't always the best indicator).
I'm going to read Juggernaut by Adam Baker next.”
Thanks for the recommendation of Scott Sigler's books. I've read Relic and really enjoyed it. It was fast-paced and I liked the style of writing.
As for Midwinter Sacrifice, it's very bleak and the style of writing or perhaps the translation might grate a bit. However, I still enjoyed it as it was an intriguing 'who done it' style book and keeps you guessing throughout.

I'm about a third way through this just now and find it very similar in every way to The Stand. I'm thinking of giving up on it for now and switching to something else and picking up again later if only because I feel like I'm reading a carbon copy of SK's book. How are you finding it so far?

Again, I really enjoyed this too.

but no one really believes them because they're a bit unhinged anyway. So an undercover detective goes in as a student to find out what's going on.
It's the second SJ Bolton book I've read, the first being 'Now You See Me' which has the same investigators as this second one, and that was excellent too, it has a Jack The Ripper theme and worth reading first as it gives a lot of information about the main detective that helps you understand her more in the second book.”
I was intrigued by your post and just purchased 'Dead Scared' and giving up on Swan Song for timebeing to read this.
