I'm not really sure what I think of this book. Set in eastern Europe, it's a thriller/fantasy where people wake up in their city but it's suddenly changed to a lifeless, cold, windless world where phantasms roam. The author writes like someone whose first language is not English, with many odd sentence structures and awkward phrasings. That didn't bother me terribly, just made me curious about his background. Unfortunately I found every character unlikeable enough to where if someone would just tell me what happens, I wouldn't bother with the second book. His graphic description of a rape was rather off-putting as well.

I found the premise of the book interesting. Waking up in a world where everyone is gone,finding misty creatures roaming around. It kept me interested, i found myself wanting to read more, but i had a few issues with it. Somehow it felt "amateuristic".Grammar/spelling mistakes here and there. The use of words or phrases being used for drama effect at times, seemed to me completely unnecessary. The characters and their actions and thoughts felt a bit childish at times and not like i would expect 30 year olds to behave.
Saying all that, i would definitely be interested in reading the second book and see how the story progresses. ( )
