Supernatural Suspense!

Whew! This story is a roller coaster ride of suspense! To me for a book to be good, you need to want to know more about the characters at the end, and this definitely left me wanting to know more. While it has some supernatural elements, overall the story seemed very real--authentic feeling dialogue and teen interaction. It's a little light on description but the author switched perspectives (though always in 1st person) from character to character, which I thoroughly appreciated--I liked getting into different heads. It contains some language, so I wouldn't recommend for younger readers, but everyone else, come on!

Excellent novel for supernatural suspense fans. Well developed, believable characters that all Christians can identify with on some level. This novel shows the powerful effect of simple prayers on supernatural wars in a beautiful way.  Tops my short list of the best I've read.

S. Williams does a fantastic job weaving developed, well-balanced characters into supernatural circumstances. It's a rare suspense novel where the supernatural elements are organic, never forced. The Biblical themes and characters add a wholly creepy dimension to the book, as someone who despises organized religion in all forms, it was refreshing to explore Biblical themes without ever feeling "preached at". In a cultural as deeply rooted in Christianity as America, the way Mr. Williams explores demonology in a modern context in compelling and unsettling. I strongly recommend this cerebral, white-knuckle novel.

Again, I was not disappointed when I read this story!  Picked up where Scattered Magic left off and kept me wanting more. The suspense is riveting and cannot wait to find out how the tale(s) end!

Review 5 out of 5

Jason Dark is a ghost hunter in Victorian London, who becomes involved when a string of unnaturally desiccated and decaying bodies are found. He finds out that a Demon is hellbent on spreading chaos and destruction throughout the city. Can the ghost hunter stop the fiend in time?

This is a short story, but boy it doesn't lack action, mystery and suspense! I absolutely loved it! I hadn't read any of Guido's books before, and I am truly sorry that I haven't! The pace is fast and furious and kept me wondering what would happen next. I am definitely going to read more of his Jason Dark stories! I think that this author is seriously underrated and I hope that everyone reading this review will take heed and have a look at his work. I highly recommend this book if you like mystery, action, adventure and the supernatural. - Lynn Worton

I enjoyed this first outing for Caroline Mitchell. It's a supernatural thriller so expect paranormal activity. The characters are thought out and developed enough throughout the story to give you glimpses into their inner life. They are likable, too. (Nothing worse than starting a book where you want someone to die!) As the plot unfolds you become more aware of the dark thread being woven throughout the book. It is satisfying to see this thread emerge and be resolved at the end.

My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that it came to a rather speedy end. Certainly, the author has to end the book at some point, but all of the loose ends got tied up SUPER fast. I got to the climatic showdown and wondered, "Boy, how's this gonna play out?" Unfortunately, it was done before I knew it. I had to go back to make sure I didn't miss something! Don't get me wrong because it wasn't a dissatisfying ending though there was a line spoken by one of the characters at one point about 85% of the way through that tipped me off as to how it probably will end (and it did). Having made this comment, I would still recommend the book. It is enjoyable.

So, I would recommend the book. The supernatural elements are nothing over the top. Nothing gory, though death/murder occur. Certainly pulls from real-world situations such as prostitution, alcoholism, and abuse. Characters and plot carry the story through to conclusion with no melodrama that makes you want to put it down. It's not too fast or too slow, though the ending happens fast and leads you to expect another book.

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in one sitting.  I like the paranormal and although this story is classed as fiction it is based on real interviews with someone who claimed he learned to astral travel in order to try to contact the spirit body of his brother, who was in a coma.  Even if you don't believe that such things are possible, it's a good read as a supernatural suspense story.  My grandfather said he used to be able to leave his body and had strange experiences, which is one of the reasons I was curious to read this book.  I will be reading more of Dr Paul's work.

I definitely recommend this one if you like eerie supernatural aspects to your read.  From the cover and the title, I wasn't sure how big a role the Skinwalker legend plays, but oh, yeah, there's a creep factor in this book for sure, and I loved it!  One of the best books I've read in a while, and yes, I did stay up late to finish it. :o)  There is violence in it, but it's not gratuitous; it's there for a reason.  I like that it was a clean read, no swearing, no sex (there was some romance, though), but still a great story!

While the ending tied up nicely, it also left off for a second book--and I'm sooooo looking forward to it!  Bring it on!!

This book was great.  It wasn't one of his very best, but it was right up there with the very good ones!  It has the supernatural touch, lots of suspense, very well done characters, one of his typical whack-o crazy guys, and the dog!  Dean's imagination is working overtime in this one, which makes for his best books!  As with most of his books, if you tell much that happens it takes away the fun for the reader.  So I won't give you a synopsis.  But it is DEFINITELY worth the read!!!  (This one is not in the class with Lightning or Strangers, but is in the next notch just below!)

David Valdes Greenwood has a sure-footed, engaging narrative voice that leads us through a complex supernatural tale full of suspense and emotion. I really cared for Ama, Mark and Justin and enjoyed watching them form a close-knit friendship. And I ached for them as they tried to overcome their tragic memories while embarking on their morally ambivalent quest for justice. If you enjoy a riveting plot, lots of historical detail about Salem witchcraft and a strong taste of the supernatural--don't wait to get your hands on this book!

I love this latest edition to the Spirits series. I read it straight through, could not put it down! This story is full of suspense. The paranormal features prominently throughout and puts to mind the saying, Be careful what you wish for. The spirits in this one are the most frightening to date and I felt the fear right along with the characters. Jane, Jake, and Sara were interesting characters that I look forward to more of.

Since I'm a fan of the TV show Ghost Whisperer and a longtime reader of mystery and suspense novels, this book was a delight to discover. Max is stunned to find himself a murder victim, floating somewhere between earth and the hereafter. The only one who can hear him is an investigator he convinces to look into the case. When he's not helping with the investigation, Max is facing his own ghosts from his past as he adjusts to life in spirit limbo. In death, he learns a great deal about his own life. Darcia Helle mixes elements of suspense, the paranormal, humor and introspection into a delightful book that will have readers rooting for Max to come to grips with his murder and go into the light. I've read several of Darcia Helle's books, and she writes intriguing suspense novels on a variety of topics. Don't miss this talented author.
