It’s a very well book
Page Turner!
I kept waiting for something to happen. The characters lives were quite depressing, and for no particular reason. One character constantly harassed another, and that got old quick. I’m hoping the sequel steps it up.
I really loved this book and found it difficult to put down once I started reading. Most of the characters are very relatable. This really is a fantastic horror story that shall keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat to the very end! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I wasn’t expecting this to veer into the supernatural as it did. It was a decent book.
This was a new horror author to me and the creepy cover of the book drew me right in, so I thought I would give this book a try. I can tell you that I was not disappointed as it was one spooked out creepy book!
Five friends (Evan, Savannah, QP, Robert, and Tyler) all of them have some kind of problems in their life that they are dealing with, so they decide to get together and see if they can summon a demon for Halloween. Since all of them will probably be going their separate ways after high school, they want to do something epic for their last Halloween together. QP decides that he wants to do the summoning in a cemetery on Halloween night which the other friends are a little iffy on that, but they eventually all go along with the idea.
When they try to summon the demon, something does appear in the circle, but they find out it was just a prank as one of their other friends just wanted to mess with them as he appears to them wearing a mask. When one of the friends ends up dead is when everything takes a more serious turn and the friends find out the hard way that even trying to summon a demon is never a good thing. As time goes on, each friend is stalked by some kind of apparition wearing the mask.
What kind of demon did the friends summon? What or who is wearing the mask? Does anyone survive the demon’s wrath? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!
This was a spooky romp all the way to the end of the book as the more I became involved with the storyline, the more creeped out I became as I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next to the friends!
There is a second book in the series that I will be checking out as well. Giving this book four spooky stars!
The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. Just the mask gave the exact idea of what to expect. The story is told from the viewpoints of the five different teenagers. Each one has a different take on the situation they find themselves in. A gripping tale, making you wonder how it will all turn out. I hope there will be a sequel as I thought he left the ending open to continue the story.
Juvenile characters and a bit predictable.
I’ll make this short and to the point. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. The author is a mind in the gutter pervert. His 5 main characters are High school students. 1 girl and 4 boys. About 1/4th of the book is the 5 of them and sex. Straight, gay, and with their mothers!!! As far as I am concerned, it greatly detracts from the story. I have deleted the book from my library and am NOT going to read the rest of the series.
Work on the editing. You’re a good storyteller.
