Jenna’s Flaw
Lee Tasey
It is not always the night we need to
fear but rather the darkness from within.
This story
will leave you wanting more and possibly wanting to shake the author too. Mr. Tasey spins a very descriptive tale of
not only a grad student’s life in a Midwestern, football crazed college town,
but also the tale of how quickly and easily we can all be compelled and
deceived into things we never wanted to believe in. Like great writers I have read in the past,
Mr. Tasey leaves the reader with more questions and wondering not only about
the book but pondering these same questions onto their personal lives as well.
Lately I
have only been reading romantic comedies which I love but after reading Jena’s Flaw I found myself remembering
some of the great writers in the past.
Mr. Tasey’s work reminds me of H. P. Lovecraft with a dash of Mary
Shelley. Both of these authors’ works
talked of how we strive for greatness but soon regret and fear that which we
have created. They also leave us with
greater questions about God and what else is out there besides man.
Now on to my grading of the book.
Let me start with what I didn’t like. For me the pacing was a bit slow and it took sometime
before getting to what I would call the ‘meat’ of the story. The story didn’t really grab me until I was
about half way through the book. However, I think this could also have been
because I was not use to reading a book of such substance in quite awhile nor
had I ever read a book dealing with possessions and otherworld entities. So please do not judge the book too much on
this paragraph of my review.
Grammar and
spelling were spot on. I rarely see a
book that is so clean and sharp. I tend
to deduct at least ½ a star for grammar/spelling issues but that will not be
the case with this book. Since I read
this book in paper instead of a Kindle/mobi format, I cannot answer formatting
questions.
As I have
stated, I am not use to this sub genre of paranormal so for me the plot was
original and interesting. Having grown
up close to Lincoln, Nebraska, it was interesting seeing the town through the
eyes of someone from the west coast.
While some of the places in the book were fictitious there were some
that I knew exactly where they were and what he was talking about.
As I stated
at the beginning, the book was very descriptive. This allowed me to not only see the action
going on but I think it also helped bring the characters to life for me as
well. While reading, I could hear Jena
smacking her gum while her hip was cocked as she leaned against the bus and she
twirled a lock of her hair in boredom.
