DNF
Esoteric, Mysterious, Obtruse, Cryptic, Perplexing, Puzzling, Recondite. Thank you, Roget's Thesaurus, I couldn't think of how to describe this book.
Oh, you want more? It wasn't a good book. Well, for me, that is. You might like it.
Two different storylines, Before, and (wait for it), After. Both confusing with more description than necessary. Maybe Caroline took the rule, "Show, don't tell" a little to far.
Before: People are disappearing. Other people are just wandering, some looking for those people, others become those people? Townsfolk live in fear, but no one seems to be doing anything about it.
After: Someone is not where they are supposed to be. Or are they? But, yeah, they're not on Kansas anymore, that's for sure. Did they want to here?
Sorry, Caroline., I'm not sticking around to find out. Don't care.
