39. A book with a strong sense of place or where the author brings the location to life: Bloodline (Jordan L. Hawk)
Nämä Hawkin Whyborne and Griffin -sarjan kirjat ovat kyllä hetkeen viihdyttävintä paranormaalia romantiikkaa ja jatkuvajuonista tarinaa mitä olen hetkeen lukenut. Paikkana toimii Whiddershins-niminen kuvitteellinen paikkakunta Massashusettsin osavaltiossa ja tarinat sijoittuvat 1800-luvun loppuun. Lovecraftin maailmasta lainataan häpeilemättä kaikki kauhuelementit, ja minä olen ihan pähkinöinä tästä. Hahmokehitys on miellyttävää ja vaikka kirjojen juonet ovat hyvin ohuita, ne ovat viihdyttäviä. Olen ihan vakuuttunut, että Whiddershins niminen paikka olisi ollut olemassa, joten tämä teos menee tähän kohtaa oikein mainiosti.
