The Waiting was an interesting,  quick read from Hunter Shea, one of my favourite authors.Brian and Cass are newly married when Cass takes ill as they cut their wedding cake. Their future went from so promising to hell and insurmountable worry for Brian when she ends up going for a major surgery and spends her time in intensive care as a result.  Seeing no promising signs of improvement in the hospital over time, Brian decides to move his wife into their new, empty and incomplete home in the hopes that she would heal better there under the care of him and his mother in law Alice.Things turn from bad to worse when a presence is discovered to be around Cass in her coma-like state. That of a young boy. Brian's "MIL" at first sees the boy as Cass' s guardian angel but quickly realises he's something very different.I read this book in a few hours and as always with Hunter Shea's books I was on edge, jumpy and had to shut the bedroom door so I couldn't see into my hallway. This being my usual routine with Hunter's writing in my hands.It's a good, quick read that gave me the goosebumps I needed, but if you're really looking for more a scare than a thrill, you should try some of Hunter Shea's other books too. I've recommended them to a few people who later tell me they weren't disappointed. My favourite would probably be Sinister Entity.Thanks for another opportunity to read more of your work Hunter! I look forward to the next, and the next after that.4 out of 5 stars.Review by Sarah Fae of Fae Books Blog
