Last Rites

I've been a Shaun Hutson fan for a very long time and must have read the great majority of his books. They have invariably been a great read and have always left me looking forward to the next one.But not this time.We have the multiplicity of plot lines, all moving forward to join up in the customary explosive finish. But they moved forward so slowly as to be pretty tedious at times.Also, for some reason Shaun includes several very explicit sexual scenes which really are gratuitous and not required in such detail. Does the author really believe that his army of loyal readers buy his books for gratuitous sex?Whilst this is an OK read, I did find myself rushing pages towards the end..I was really quite glad when I finally completed it.This is not vintage Shaun Hutson by any means and if you're planning to buy it as your first taste of this author, you probably wouldn't choose to buy any more.But you're an avid Red, Shaun, as I am, so you're excused this, for you, slightly lacklustre story! I'll still be ready for the next book. In the meantime, lets all hope that Kenny has the good sense to ditch Carroll, Henderson, Downing and Adam at the end of the season.

Good. 5 star- ish but I'll give it 4.5. Couldn't wait to get back into it. Fast paced, colourful, Hutson classic material. Not as mind-blowingly good as his original Shadows, Erebus, Deathday and Breeding Ground (my all time Hutson favs) but up there, certainly a notch above some of his other later stuff. V good and satisfying read.

Quite the page-turner, as fans of Hutson have come to expect. Everything's present and accounted for: the short chapters, the cliffhanger endings, plenty of dialogue, lots of twists and turns and just enough character definition to keep you invested in the story.This one's an old-school Satanic Panic novel. Think Wickerman meets Kill List and you're on the right road.I really enjoyed it.

True horror from the master

Fast moving. Enjoyed the book

Apart from his really early stuff, I can't see any horror fan being disappointed in a Sean Hutson book. I loved this one, read it cover to cover the day it was delivered. Seller packaged it well and it arrived in good time.

I have read Shaun Hutson books for many years now. I can honestly say that this one did not let me down. Very difficult to put this book down, so much so I finished it in 2 days.... Superb

My kind of book. As always, can't wait for the next page!. I've read a lot of books from this author and have never been disappointed.
