Great quick Summer read!! Definitely recommend- perfect for a beach day.

Pretty grim reading - suggested to me by my son who knows I like horror , this is a horror like story but it is true crime - could have been edited down a few hundred pages but the story was written in a journalistic fashion .

King is my all-time favorite author and the only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that it’s a bit dark, even for King and I had some trouble getting through parts of it. And unlike much of King’s other work, which is really about human nature and how people will react in certain situations, this one is primarily about some really terrible creatures. The books two main characters are Dan Torrence, the young boy, now a man, who survived the story described in “The Shining”, and a young girl named Abra who shares Dan’s ability to “shine”. They come together in this story to battle the evil creatures but they also discover something about themselves and their relationship. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you like a story that may frighten you, then you will enjoy this one.

Fascinating storyline . Interesting characters . Satisfying ending . A worthwhile read

Jenn mckinlay cleverly foreshadows her other series by introducing characters in the library series

So entertaining!

What I love about this book is that it’s not the typical “who-dunnit”, where the chase leads from person to person, eliminating suspects. In this book, there is so much going on with the plot that everyone is relevant in the end. And the lines between the good guys and the bad guys is not clearly drawn. Someone is accosting woman on the streets and now a young girl has gone missing. It must be the creepy guy who lives on the block, right? But then again….

I loved this booked! I was always so intimidated to start it but once I started I couldn’t put it down. What a love story!

I LOVED this book. It was a wonderful glimpse into the life of the Egyptian Royals. It was a great piece of fiction about the only female pharaoh in the history of Egypt and what life could have been for her.

Now here is a genre that I would not normally read, but I have read two of her books recently and enjoyed both very much. And what book could be better for a bibliophile than his one that takes place in a library? The story bounces back and forth between two time frames and gives you a look challenges faced by a family who used to live in and care for the NY public library and the current challenges faced by the library’s special collection curators. I learn so much by reading her books.
