A young adult horror story with significant Lovecraftian influence, Splinters deals with how ordinary human resistors must sacrifice the normal lives they could have tried to live in favor of fighting for all humankindUnder most circumstances, Ben and Mina would never have had reason to speak to each other; hes an easy-going people person with a healthy skepticism about the paranormal, and shes a dangerously obsessive monster-hunter with a crippling fear of betrayal. But the small town of Prospero, California, has no ordinary circumstances to offer. In order to uncover a plot set by the seemingly innocent but definitely shapeshifting monsters that look like friends, family, and neighbors, the two stark opposites must both find ways to put aside their differences and learn to trust each other.

Splinters took me quite a while to read. It’s not a bad or boring book, but it just did not draw me in and keep me “glued to the screen” the way I would have liked. The story shows some out of the box thinking by the author(s), and the use of a (truly heroic) heroine who would seem to be either on the spectrum or suffering from mental health issues is refreshing. The other main character is fairly complex, but some of the supporting characters could have used some fleshing out. The romance isn’t a focal point, which to me is appropriate, given the circumstances.
Despite all of the positive I’ve stated above, I’m only giving Splinters 3 stars. Like I said, I wasn’t drawn in, and can’t say I’m excited to read the next book in the series. (
