Review: A Wild and Creepy Ride
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 20, 2013
Not being a fan of 'scary' movies or books, I was surprised to find myself totally enthralled with this story. I can't wait to delve deeper into the mysteries of Widowsfield, to find out what really happened to its residents, and who will survive with their sanity intact. This book has the best of everything...love, manipulation, paranormal phenomena, and strangely, forgiveness. Wise weaves his story in such a way that the reader feels she cannot escape the compulsion to see 314 everywhere. This feature of this intricate, multi-layer story virtually hypnotized me to the point that I simply couldn't NOT finish the book even when I got that creepy feeling like someone was watching me. A.R. Wise mastered the ability to create such a rich sensory experience as to momentarily transport his readers into Alma's nightmares.
