Ripples on the Lake by Dawn Rotarangi
3.0

Fast-paced tale of spirits and revenge. And set in Taupo, which is nice - I'm relatively familiar with it, and it's always good to see a NZ location in speculative fiction.

There are some lovely creepy images here, it's as much horror as fantasy I reckon. That being said, the characterisation is wafer thin. Read it for action and creepiness and location instead.
