Gertrude and Henrik are dead. It bugs me that so far, the only death we've gotten from the perspective of the person dying while they are lucid and uninfected has been Henrik, the only man in the book. I'd have liked to watch one of the female characters get ripped apart from her own perspective, but now the only prospect for that is Ursula. And knowing Sodergren, she'll probably last until the very last page.

Much quicker start than Maggie's Grave or The Forgotten Island.

First book in some time where the inciting incident happened in the first chapter.

Action prologue with some guy hunting down werewolves in a motel. Good pacing for chapter one. Overweight woman driving home is raped by a werewolf, who she manages to stab in The eye, killing him. Her husband is in the driveway fucking another woman and then has to rush into the house to pick up a phone call from the hospital informing him of the attack.

First time a creature of decent size(4ft) appears and is described clearly, and I had to skim to get here from the last creature appearance several chapters ago because the intervening pages were nothing but banter and rumination by these unlikable characters.

Tim Waggoner - Sorrow Road. All traffic and electricity on the highway suddenly stops, the sky changes color, and myriad eyes appear in it. People vomit black ooze, bugs, bones. People go mad. The cars merge and warp into a massive tower. The trees turn to glass, the grass turns into white blood sucking tentacles. People marked with a cognitohazardous brand bring survivors to the tower for brainwashing.

Time Flies by Pete Rawlik. Protagonist is a CIA agent who's the bodyguard and lover of a Yith. They attend an event on the hotel roof with many other Yith - a viewing party of the devastation wrought by a 9.2 earthquake in the Pacific. Apart from the death and destruction from the tsunamis, the earthquake has breached R'lyeh. On top of this, once the Yith depart, the corpses they'd been possessing will zombify.
