WOW starts slowly with character formation and sets the foundation but rapidly heats up to a gripping who done it with a significant twist you won't see coming ;)
The cover and description make it sound more like a horror novel. I didn't see it that way - more of a "tense psychological thriller with sci-fi elements".
Nicely done characters and plot. Pretty good and certainly worth reading.
This is a real page-turner. It's a thriller written by a wonderful writer, Frank M. Robinson. There is a frightening theme and that makes it a tale of terror. NPR listed this novel as a Top 10 Book for the Summer, but I'm not sure which year it was.
