Burning Grudges Behind Me

Time for some more bona fide books to talk about.

Ju-On - Kei Ohishi
If the movie had been only half as enjoyable as this book, then I might have actually recommended it to others to watch. The story jumps narrative perspective from protagonist to protagonist, coloring it with their opinions, observations and most of all, letting the supernatural get to you whilst wishing that history would not repeat itself.

Missing 2 - Gakuto Coda
Part 2 of the Missing series starts off where the last one ended. No nasty introductions this time, which leaves more pages for the actual story. Apparently chain mail letters can be deadly. And if Kidono does not counteract the curse soon, she just might be its next victim.
Nice to whet your appetite for a real book, but not much of a promising read of itself.

Currently, I am being preoccupied with Sergei Lukyanenko's Twilight Watch, the last book in the original trilogy. Maybe, just maybe, that giant pile of books is finally starting to shrink a little.
