Summoning
on May 30, 2011
(no rating)
The Summoning by Debi Faulkner. Main character is Meredith who was separated from her family and indebted to an evil man to pay her family's rent. I enjoyed the story but the timeline was hard to follow as the author told the story from a different perspective.

Dirty Little Angels
on June 05, 2011
The simplicity and resignation of the main character, Hailey, is heartbreaking. Hailey is a 16 year old girl with a pile of trauma behind her, beginning with her family. She had no positive influence and although I felt she was doomed to the same life that her parents and brother led, she persisted in searching for something more. If not hope, tenacity is a constant quality. The story elicits compassion.

The Old One
on Sep. 16, 2011
I love stories that take place in creepy little towns whose residents have secrets! The setting of the Pacific Northwest and associated forest lends a feeling of vulnerability. This book kept my interest, including building the anticipation (or dread) of the "monster". I will watch for future books by this author.

The Kult
on March 23, 2012
I stumbled across Shaun Jeffrey the first time when I read "The Kult". Honestly, I was unaware of the film. I couldn't read the whole thing at once. The book is like finding something that you know you probably shouldn't be looking at, but you go back again and again anyway. It was so intense I could only read it in small bits.

The Saltness of Time
on March 19, 2013
Randy Attwood has a gift for putting the reader into the story. "The Saltness of Time" unfolds seamlessly, without distraction from the time he presents his characters to the disturbing conclusion. When I finished reading this one I needed a cup of hot tea to warm up and reflect.
