Wow it really loos like I have all of the sudden started reading a lot. Truth is I have always read a lot. I got on Goodreads.com so that I could keep track of what I had already read. I decided to share some of the best stuff here. Because who doesn't love a great book?
So now I have just finished the Tormenters by Jack Phoenix.
First let me say that I typically don't choose horror books to read. But I am so glad I picked this one up. The characters are well developed and the author does that without distracting from the story. Also I was surprised to find that this was the first book written by this author as his story telling ability is extremely well developed.
The main characters Rod and Liz are relate-able. Even with Rod being a bad guy, you can see how he would get himself into this kind of situation. None of it seems too far fetched. Monsters are real. Sometimes the monsters have monsters.
In the end this becomes a morality tale. But it does it gracefully, and without condemnation.
Also this book humanized the abuser in the tale with out excusing him. I like that.
I gave it 5 starts because it was well written, well edited and thoroughly enjoyable.
I liked this so much that I am going to do a giveaway of a signed copy of this book. Signed by the Author silly not me.
