Rating: 7 out of 10
I took a chance on Brian Moreland way back in August when I discovered he was on the list of latest releases for SamHain's new Horror Line.
Brian Moreland likes to weave History into his Horror fiction. Which is pretty much right up my alley. I was happy to find someone was selling Moreland's first book, Shadows in the Mist, on Amazon. And I will give him credit to some creativity. I was not expecting this type of monster:
Nazi Golems.
Yeah that's right, Moreland weaved History's greatest villains with a legendary monster of Hebrew lore. To be honest, I was not going to rate this book very high when I just considered the book to be about Nazi Zombies (which thanks to Call of Duty, has become cliche). But when the twist hits, you are compelled to have Moreland explain how this happened.
This book is very action-packed, just enough for those of you who enjoy war stories.
The beginning is misleading and not integral to the story, in my opinion. Moreland's book really begins with Jack Chambers' story and his platoon. The Lucky Seven have been fighting in the infamous Hurtgen Forest and receive a chance to go home, but they have to survive one last mission. This mission is top secret, and at every stop it becomes more and more deadly.
The book is a good read, the action and characters will keep you going, only to have you finish because of the strange plot twists.
Happy Reading!
