Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris
First word that comes to mind is, BORING! It took me 2 weeks
to read this book, just because I didn’t want to read it after I started
it. The main character Harper Connelly
has a strange ability to sense when she is near dead people, she developed
after being electrocuted by lightning. The
story is an interesting idea, I have not read any books with this concept before
but it was just not developed well.
Harper travels with her step brother Tolliver who is a
strange character that I think the audience is supposed to relate to since
there is not a lot to relate to with Harper, but he falls short on a loveable character. Plus their relationship is a little weird, I
thought at any moment they were going to jump into bed together, thankfully
that did not happen. I have read most of
the Sookie Stackhouse books by the same author, but where Sookie is a fun
loveable character with a strange ability, she is relatable and well written,
Harper is boring and uninteresting.
The reason I read this book in the first place is because I
borrowed the second and third book from a friend and I’ve had them for years. I
am working through my borrowed books and thought, this will be a fast read
before the next book club book. Well I
was wrong, it was not a quick read and I never got to the book club book.
Well I am not going to go into any more detail about this
book because it just is not worth my time.
But true to character, I am going to try and read the borrowed second
and third book of this series, if I don’t get to it, no lost sleep will
happen. Keep reading my friends!
