Follow on Google News |  MOTERWRITER.COM reviews the latest hit novel – Dark SeaAuthor Wendy Shreve’s mystery novel invokes the supernatural and the contemporary to thrill you
Striking the right balance between the drama, romance and passion, Dark Sea also provides great insight into the cultureand mysticism of the Native American tribe Nausequoit. And the author has infused such elements and blended it nicely with the general mystery feel of the book. This novel also stands out from the rest by shedding light on the often neglected interactions between the various native tribes and the white man. The author also provides adequate back stories for each of her characters which blend in nicely with the main narrative. The seagulls, the beaches, the waves and the tides of Cape Cod are also a character unto themselves, often reflecting the mood of the various characters. There are many scenes which portray the author’s brilliant control over her craft, for example readers may refer to the scene in Rusty’s boat and the house party at Kip’s house when all the characters come together and yet each character’s uniqueness has been allowed to shine through resulting in some finely crafted scenes. Then the final couple of scenes, including Lili’s and Janice’s ‘encounter’ “Continuing from where the story let off at the end of ‘Shadowwater’, ‘Dark Sea’ moves forward by showing the characters grappling with the changes in their lives”.
