Night Show

Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have only read a few of Mr. Laymon's novels, in fact this is the third. I found this one to be lacking compared to The Vampire Show and Amara. What The Vampire Show had, interesting and intriguing subplots, and Amara which had several twisted and convoluting plots intertwined, Late Show just lacks. Without these, there is only sex in Mr. Laymon's books, which would be ok, but even these were not good in this book.

The main characters made terrible choices, that just made no sense. There were two plots, both with female leads, the main plot was about Dani Larson, a special effects artist who make some truly asinine choices when it comes to a stalker, and Linda a high school girl who is seeking revenge on three boys who play a malicious prank on her which inadvertently leads to her being hit by a car.

Neither of the plots make much sense, but of the two, I actually enjoyed Linda's plot better. Revenge is always a good splatterpunk plot devise and one in which Mr. Laymon excelled in. Although not one of his best works, I'm still giving this novel... 2 of 5 stars.
