Last Refuge by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

I enjoyed it; I will pass it on; I was a little disappointed. It is a sequel to Nothing Sacred and I don't think it quite lived up to it. It was pretty predictable and maybe a little facile. I think that is the word I want - everything was almost slick - apparent challenges for the characters, but maybe not so much -- One of the main characters is killed and eaten fairly early on, but somehow the horrors which are described in this episode and many others seem to have little impact. There is almost a sense of detachment from everything.

Still, Scarborough only partially on target is better than most.
