This is very mediocre literature at best, coming out as written by somebody who learnt both his craft and his understanding of world and human behaviour at a Reddit incel forum. Really badly written, and nobody's behaviour comes out as credible. The story is essentially a version of a classic vampire story, in which in a distant location a group of travellers meet a clan of vampires served by fearful and backwards local people – but the monsters are not technically vampires in this one.

The reader would not be so bad otherwise, but almost everybody in the book is Swedish and the reader decided to give them a Scandinavian accent without any idea of how Scandinavian people actually pronounce English. The result is a comical accent somewhere between Russian and maybe Indian. Hailing from Finland myself, and having extended experience speaking English with our Swedish neighbours, I can assure you, they don't sound anything like that. The Finnish couple in the book was rendered possibly even worse.

The only positive for the book is that it is pretty action packed and can keep up, if not actual suspense, the feeling of the protagonists being in danger. That can serve an inattentive reader well enough. But I would return this for the store credit if I could. Edit: I returned it for store credit.

Bad literature read with a stupid accent
