"All the right scares in all the right places." The Seattle Times A telephone rings in the dead of night with shocking news for single mother MaryAnne Carpenter: her friends the Wilkensons are suddenly, inexplicably dead, their only child, Joey, a sad and silent adolescent and MaryAnne's godchild, abruptly orphaned. But as MaryAnne rushes with her family to the Wilkenson's ranch to embrace her young charge, disturbing questions mount. Was it an accident that killed her friends? Or murder? Now, as winter transforms the ranch into a place of blinding, dangerous storms, a series of horrific murders, killings that suggest a raging animal and defy solution by the local police, draw ever closer to MaryAnne and her young family. From the Paperback edition.

I‘m feeling kind of meh about this. MaryAnne‘s husband is a jerk who ruins every scene he is in. The rest of the characters are ok but pretty one dimensional. The story is predictable so there is no real tension. The big reveal at the end is obvious. Maybe I‘m just in a bad mood but this book didn‘t do much for me.

I have spent a lazy Sunday morning avoiding all of the things I need to do and finishing this book. It is exactly what one would expect from a John Saul book. If you are a person who finds his books fun, you will like this one too. It was a good escape that I could read without having to think too much.

Redwritinghood How are you doing these days? I hope it‘s getting easier. 5y

Finished during lunch, I think I've had this book kicking around for 20 years, I loved John Saul in my teens and probably picked up for nostalgia sake. The language seemed so dated. It took a very long time to get where it was going, with the "horror" finally coming in in the last 5 or 6 chapters. Then it was so very quickly resolved. I guess you can never turn back the clock. Some things are not meant to be revisited. Not for me.

This was a great mix of sci fi and horror. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning and I really liked how everything was tied together. The characters were very interesting and the idea for the story was unique. I really loved the ending and would definitely recommend this one for horror and thriller fans!

ReadingOver50 Love John Saul. He was my first introduction to horror when I was a teenager 😀 7y
Victoriahoperose @ReadingOver50 this is my first book by him. Definitely going to have to get some more! 7y
