Finally getting around to reading this series. First book is a good, steady opening novel: enough back-story to connect you to the characters and a good hook to make you pick up book 2.

"Do I really have any other choice?" Rose shrugged. "Only bad ones, dear. But it's better if you want it. It will make the Turning easier." "Does it hurt? The Turning?" Rose smiled and told the first outright lie. "Not at all." Doctor Sleep - published a very short while ago, making...
