Ravenmocker

Summary: What a great book!
Review: I was very pleased that I ordered this book. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. Every page was written with such suspense that no matter how far you read you wanted to see where Morgan and his cousin would end up, or if they too would fall victim to the Ravenmocker. The geographical area that this book displayed was also interesting. I am from North Carolina and have visited the Mountains here several times, the story actually had places I have been through so I could almost visualize the places as the story went on. This author has done his homework and I hope to see more from him.

Summary: What a great book! Need to be a movie!
Review: Man, what a surprise this book was. Ravenmocker is a book like no other I have read. It was a bit of horror, yeah, but it was mystery, history, action/adventure, even a touch of romance. The book is based on a Native American legend come back to life today and it really makes you think. I enjoyed all the Cherokee history and mountain settings (as well as Charleston) where the book is primarily set. I had no idea how the book was going to end and could not have been more surprised and I am usually good at figuring books out before the last chapter. This one I missed entirely. For a first novel it is especially good. I can't work for this writer's next work. With any luck, it will be a screen play for Ravenmocker!

Summary: Historical Horror?
Review: Ravenmocker was a cool book. While it was horror, no doubt, it was full of the history of the Cherokee. A particular legend is the basis of the story. The combination makes it sort of hard to just "stick it in a slot" like horror. Either way, the settings were as much a part of the story as the people. I enjoyed the portions of the novel set in Charleston as well as those in the mountains. The story line was great and I think it would make a great movie actually. The ending and the prologue were a complete surprise. Well, for me anyway. Good book!
