Little Heaven

By Nick Cutter

Book Overview

"Beautifully written--menace drips from every page." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author

A "gripping and terrifying story...and one not to be missed" (Robert McCammon) from the acclaimed author of The Troop and The Deep

A trio of mismatched mercenaries--Micah Shughrue, Minerva Atwater, and Ebenzer Elkins, colloquially known as "the Englishman"--is hired by young Ellen Bellhaven for a deceptively simple task: check in on her nephew, who may have been taken against his will to a remote New Mexico backwoods settlement called Little Heaven, where a clandestine religious cult holds sway. But shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous. There are stirrings in the woods and over the treetops--and above all else, the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. Paranoia and distrust soon grip the settlement. Escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral toward madness. Hell--or the closest thing to it--invades Little Heaven. All present here are now forced to take a stand and fight back, but whatever has cast its dark eye on Little Heaven is marshaling its power--and it wants them all...

Meh

This was the third Nick Cutter book I read (The Troop and The Deep proceeding it) and I thought it was alright. I liked some of the characters but most of the story is pretty forgettable. It's a fun ride while you're on it but the end leaves you wanting more.

Missed it’s mark

My first Cutter book and was underwhelmed. The first half of the book is kind of slow, and is a lot of conversations between the 3 main characters. The second half of the book really amps up the action and creep factor which made the atmosphere exciting. Overall i was hoping for more and a little more explanation on the entities that lurk as the overarching villains. I would recommend reading this book on a vacation or during a period where the someone doesn’t want to think too much.
