All I can say is "WHOA DOGGY" I began this book last weekend & finished it in ONE night! It was fast paced, full of excitement, original, thrilling, page turning. It was plain ol' AWESOME!The Captain has turned on the Fasten your Seat Belts sign babeeyz cuz this is gonna be a BUMPY RIDE!We start out with 7 "strangers" on the red eye from New York to Seattle. All of them are connected somehow, someway.As the flight begins, Sarah the estranged daughter of William Atherton, airline owner & ex roommate to his assistant, Evy, also on the flight, began to feel hot. Sweating, heart pounding, she closes her eyes, she thought she was having a nightmare as she finds herself on a hospital gurney about to be operated on, without anesthesia. She opened her eyes and saw the Doctor, an Aryan looking fellow with a scar down the side of his face.She remembers hearing a saw starting up, immense pain, then blackness.So begins our story. We have 7 people each with their own personal demons, all together at the same time, on the same flight.One of the many things they have in common is seeing a blond man with a horrific scar on the side of his face.I wondered how the author was going to weave all of these characters and their experiences together without confusing the reader and muddling the story line. She did so masterfully! Not only did I know what each of the 7 people was about I was able to keep them straight and not confuse them or their stories.I was kept in suspense until the very end. Even now I am eagerly awaiting the sequel. Don't get me wrong, it was a very clear story, not confusing at all. She does end on a helluva cliffy that makes you turn the page for any kind of clue as to what comes next.Their dreams connected each of them like puzzle pieces. Upon boarding the plane each of them saw a man or woman and thought they looked familiar but could not place them at that moment. Until they fell asleep-It reminded me a bit of "Nightmare on Elm Street" where Freddy controlled people & their environments in their dreams and what happened in their dream was not a dream at all.I could see this as a movie and a good one at that. I couldn't read quick enough to get to the end and then I did not want it to end because part 2 is not out yet!It is hard for me to talk about this book without using spoilers. All I can say is that it was a truly terrifying tale and makes me think twice about going on an airliner anytime soon!  Drusilla Winters wrote a fabulously creepy tale that will enthrall even the toughest horror critic.*E-book given to me by publisher in exchange for my honest review. I did not receive, nor was asked to accept, I did not ask for, ANY compensation to write this review.*
