I’m not usually a fan of horror, nor anything remotely scary. I believe because of my creative imagination, it takes thing out of control, and I end up not being able to sleep for the night.

But I found that’s what I liked about this book.

Just a rough entry into the book…

Chase finds out she wins a competition she doesn’t recall entering, and thus has won a house/cottage. With the prompting of her good friend Jane, they travel together in the company sponsered limo, then helicopter to get to the estate. Things seems nice, until they tell her that she needs to stay there for a year, and sign a contract, and must live there starting that very moment. She agrees, and things seem ‘fine’, that is until Jane disappears, in a very unlike Jane way, and she starts noticing even more, that things are just a little off about this community.

At the same time, Ratty and Izzy are introduced into the story. Youth just playing around, when they suddenly find themselves stuck in the fog, unable to navigate themselves out.

Alright, so explaining the main idea isn’t always my strength, so here is the amazon link.

Yes there are a few complaints of the cliches that are sprinkled about the novel, but it adds to its ‘fun’ and scary feel. He discribes the situation with such detail, that I was able to picture it with ease, and have it feed my fear. There were times in the novel, that felt like a jerky rollarcoaster ride. Making you tense up, and prepare for the worst that may, or may not come. But it was that expectation that made me enjoy the novel.

I don’t like to put novels down once I read them, but I found, because of my own inability, I had to put this novel down, and try to sleep off the ‘fear’. LOL yes, fear. There were two instances, while reading the novel, where I just couldn’t take it anymore and had to put it down, give my mind a break from freaking myself out.

I didn’t really expect the outcome of the novel, and was a little surprised, but it made sense, and made you wonder about the humankind. The things that drive us to become the individuals we are, strictly based on our previous experiences, our own pasts.

Unfortunately I didn’t like the end, only because it left things open. And I wanted closure NOW!

But that is just a personal preference with the novel. Though I did like the last sentence of the novel…
