URBAN FANTASY REVIEW: Decay Inevitable - Conrad A Williams

BOOK BLURB:

DECAY INEVITABLE is a novel charting the grim territories of the shadow line that trembles at the very end of life. These are badlands of horrifying dreams and demons where a black market in unspeakable goods takes place. A race is on to unearth the secrets of the soul... secrets woven into the fabric of death itself.


REVIEW:

To be honest not the best book out there at the moment if you want a zombie title. The characters are forgettable, the likeability for the protagonist is missing and if I’m going to be blunt here, it’s a title with little or no redeeming features. Add to the mix a convoluted and confusing plot alongside a sluggish zombie like pace and it’s a title that you really might be better missing. Of the Solaris titles, if you want an Urban Fantasy novel definitely purchase the titles by Justin Gustainis which are leagues ahead of this or try one of Abaddon’s Tomes of the Dead and you’ll end up better off. A shame as the back promised so much more than this hard to read title delivered.

That's a shame. I was *so* looking forward to reading this one...perhaps I'll pick it up anyway. Just, you know, cause it still looks awesome.
