This is probably the shortest review I've written on any book so far, but "Creative Spirit" is easy to sum up in a few sentences, so here goes."Unputdownable" doesn't roll off the tongue so well for me, but that's just what it is. Wonderfully creepy are also great words to capture the essence of this book. For quite some time now I've been searching around for a book that would scare the living daylights out of me, as I am a big horror / paranormal fan, and don't scare easily. How lucky for me to have won a copy of "Creative Spirit" by Scott Nicholson for review!Remember how haunted house stories used to be written? This book is just like that - although it's not just any haunted house, but something far more sinister. Voodoo, witchcraft, shockingly slow deaths, possession, and loads more hair-raising goodies are to be found right here. It contains all the elements a good old fashioned, spine chilling supernatural story should have.I suppose I should mention what really adds to this book is good, solid characters with strong personalities, each with their own in depth background story; as well as medium to fast pacing of the storyline that builds up the suspense really well until you can take no more. The author hardly gives you enough time to catch your breath before launching into the next bloodcurdling twist!I won't recommend you read this before turning off the lights though - you'll keep looking over your shoulder and hearing strange noises in the dark...But don't say I didn't warn you!WARNING: Not for the fainthearted.
