The Ravenous

by Amy Lukavics

From the outside, the Cane family looks like they have it all. A successful military father, a loving mother and five beautiful teenage daughters. But on the inside, life isn't quite so idyllic: the Cane sisters can barely stand each other, their father is always away and their neglectful mother struggles with addiction and depression. When the youngest and most beloved sister dies in a tragic accident, the sisters discover just how far they will go to keep their family together.

Ok Amy Lukavics, I've given you three books worth of chances now. No more. I actually can't believe that a publisher is still investing money in publishing this shit.

If you want to know the plot, just read the blurb. It quite literally tells you everything about the book that there is to know. What it doesn't tell you is that the characterisation is so poor as to be non-existent. Character motivations make zero to no sense, and there is absolutely no sense of danger or terror anywhere in this plot.

I think Lukavics might be the only writer who legitimately gets worse with each successive novel, but there we go. Plot, pace, character, all of the things that she started with potential back with Daughters Unto Devils seem to get thrown to the wolves, regurgitated, and fed to them again and again with each successive book she releases.

If you like YA, horror, or just, you know, books. Please, don't bother with this.
