Review of The Gathering by C. J. Tudor

The Gathering by C. J. Tudor was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it.  I have read this author before and I will read more if the opportunity arises.   That being said, this book, based in a small Alaskan town is more a murder mystery than a horror book about vampires.  Having lived part of my life in Alaska and having been a criminal investigator my whole life, I understand the inner workings of an investigation, the politics of small towns and how you can never trust a vampire.  This book, to me, had too many characters and had too much down time where people were just talking.  If you read  my reviews you know too much down time costs stars and it cost this book one star.  If you liked the newest True Detective series, based in Alaska, this book is head and shoulders above that, but if you are looking for “horror,” this is not it.
