- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5OMG!!!! This is a new to me author and let me tell you I loved every minute of it. From start to finish I was intrigued. It was like watching a movie yelling at the screen. I know my blood pressure raised a little reading this. And the ending who would have thought. This is a must listen. What’s a good story without good narration. Dion Graham did an AWESOME job in narrating this story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a very good book! I didn't quite know what to expect as I have never read this author before, but what a great surprise as I was hooked after a few pages!
The book started out a little slow, but once I really got into it, then it just took off into a fascinating, creepy ride.
Andrew Wilson is a mystery writer and writes under the name of Mark Justice for a series of books. He has about anything he could possibly want with a house in Atlanta and great career. He doesn't have a woman in his life, except for his good friend Carmen, but he doesn't see her as anything but just a friend.
All that changes when he meets a woman named Mika and she wants him to be her soul mate. He plays along with her, thinking that she will be no more than a one night stand, but she ends up wanting more of him and she pursues him to no end. Nothing will stand in her way of Andrew and her as she goes to extreme lengths to have Andrew all to herself.
What he doesn't know is that Mika is not a normal person and things start happening that somehow ties into a haunting in his house. In the meantime, Andrew's father is having nightmares of a haunted mansion that involves Andrew, but his father will not mention it to Andrew as they are trying to mend a father/son relationship that has been strained for a few years. As time goes on though, his father decides that he needs to let Andrew know about his nightmares, which ties up the loose ends of everything going on with Andrew.
Thoughts:
The author did a great job of catching that horror atmospheric feel throughout the whole book and the characters just fell right into place.
This book was a mystery/horror grabber as the more I became involved in the storyline, the more I couldn't put the book down! There were a lot of twists and turns that I didn't see coming!
I will be reading more by this author in the future and I am giving this book four stars.
(I do have a warning: there is a small amount of graphic sex in the beginning of the book and there is some gory parts later in the book, but none of that deterred me from reading it.) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s a really good story with a great surprise twist at the end. I would technically call it a horror/paranormal novel as it has supernatural elements…but it’s also very much a suspense novel. The characters are very likable… except for Mika. No more said about her. You’ll have to find out for yourself. There is quite a bit of semi-explicit sex and less-explicit violence…but unless the reader is very sensitive to either of these things…it shouldn’t distract from the story. This is the second book I’ve read by Brandon Massey, and I have to say that he writes a book that is creepy s well as having just the right amount of horror…ans is more than capable of giving plenty of scares.
