With a promising premise of unnatural creatures brought upon by an ever present fog, The Stars of Mount Quixx by S.M. Beiko was unfortunately my lowest rated book of the year and DNF’d at 10%.

Following two sisters on vacation to the bizarre Quixx, a town full of oddballs and apparently the girls’ parents, this novel sets up for an interesting read. However, between juvenile writing and snooze worthy characters, this book does not deliver.

In the small portion I did end up reading most of it was filled with unnecessary dialogue of the main character’s surroundings and inner thoughts of the people around her. Pair this with bad writing and the main character becomes insufferable, acting far younger than her apparent age.

This book does a great job is saying everything and nothing at the same time.

In summation, I have rated this book 1 star for its interesting premise and little else.
