Review: Terrifyingly Entertaining!

My first thought after reading this book is not how good the story is nor how well written the book is. My first thought is about how the story kept my interest from beginning to end. I have quite possibly the worst attention span of any adult, it has been likened to that of a toddler, so being able to finish a book is quite a feat for me. I can attribute that to author, David Jester, and his book, Evergreen. Right from the start, when he is setting the stage and bringing the reader in to the small town of Evergreen, he had my attention. The twists and excitement is almost non-stop throughout the story as we learn about the town's people and the dilemma they face. Imagine having a small group of close friends and knowing that one of them is a murderer and you might be next! It makes for a good read. I really like the way the author has more than one plot going on. First, you have an entire town in terror because of a serial killer, and second, you have that very same town covering it up and trying to deal with it themselves with no outside help.I think this book is just the right length to keep your adrenaline pumping trying to figure out what's going to happen next and to whom. It has been very well written by David Jester and it has me wanting more from this author.
