One of my pet peeves is when authors overuse adverbs or flowery verbs because the prose isn't strong enough to carry emotion, and Collins did this constantly. I never got lost in the story, since I was hyperaware of every phrase and word. The writing was amateurish and hella awkward. I can't believe this is an experienced author. Throw in a cute dog and precocious kid and call it a HEA. The whole plot point with Beck's sister Nikki was a train wreck from beginning to end. Dax's PTSD felt manufactured and simplistic.

There is no body, only an unidentified head lying on the floor of a house. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects squad he didn't even know existed, he's sent to a murder scene far up in the hills of Hollywood Division.

But the Golem is dormant no longer.ĭetective Jacob Lev wakes one morning, dazed and confused: He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the night before, but he can't remember anything about the encounter, and before he knows it, she has gone. The legend of the Golem of Prague has endured through the ages, a creature fashioned by a sixteenth-century rabbi to protect his congregation, now lying dormant in the garret of a synagogue. When these three collide, a new standard of suspense is born. a grotesque, ancient monster bent on a mission of retribution. a woman of mystery who is far more than she seems. |
