"Collision" is a dark, urban fantasy and historical fiction thriller from exciting debut author, Eric McLaughlin.
The Resistance is nearly finished, a shell of its former self. Even at its best however, it was little more than an annoyance to the mysterious, world-spanning and all-powerful Pen Draig. Now the Pen Draig is coming for something the Resistance has been hiding, something that could end the struggle once and for all. The only person standing in the way is Ethan Daniel. Ethan wants nothing more than to propose to the love of his life and graduate with something resembling a decent GPA, but a deranged father and a fiery collision throw him headlong into a battle for the fate of the world and his very soul. Can he save his love and the world from the unrelenting onslaught of the Pen Draig? Can he save himself? Can he stay himself?
I was sent this debut book by the author for an honest review and while it is well constructed the excessive violence limits the audience and stop me from really engaging with the characters a little more time spent on that and less on the violence would have gone a long way especially when establishing a book (world building and characters). So while I wouldn't recommend this one to most readers some might enjoy the "rough draft" quality of this one.This review was originally posted on Books In Brogan
