Freda's Voice
Freda's Voice rated it 5 years ago
It pulled me in right from the first word. It was everything I had hoped for and more. It had me thinking of Lord of the Flies, but adults... mixed with a little Texas Chainsaw massacre minus the chainsaw. It was scary. It was graphic and it was cool! I have not read anything like it, and doubt I w...

I tend to veer towards books full of suspense and murder, and this book fulfilled just that. At times the author would get so descriptive and vile with the murders that it would almost make you want to put the book down, but like a train wreck, you just can't look away. I rated this book a 4 because...

I listened to this book on audio, and while I didn't find it scary, it was definitely bloody and gory in a slasher film kind of way. Sara and Martin are guardians to six difficult, troubled, teenagers. They take them camping on an island that is supposedly deserted. But, surprise, the island is h...

Though commencing as a fairly straight forward riff on the cliched theme of "pack of people in a remote location being picked off one by one by some form of unseen assailant", Kilborn quickly ratchets up the crazy (and inventiveness) in introducing threat after threat that the beleaguered band of pr...

If this is a movie, I’d have enjoyed it more. All the gore and blood on screen! Besides those, there really only very few things that I liked…or at least, okay with, in this story. First and foremost, Tyrone. Damn! I have a crush on him. If he’s real, I’d want to hang out with him. “Too many people...

3 - 3 1/2 starsI have been a huge fan of both Killborn/Konrath's work for several years, and a dedicated fan of horror since childhood (yes, I was a twisted little kid). It truly takes a lot for me to say a story goes a little too far in the gross-out/gory department. But...there were times when thi...

It's like a feminist, romantic (erotica), open-up-your-eyes story and even though it was easy to grasp, it's not very easy to accept. Lol. I'm a fairy tale nut and Beauty and the Beast is my favorite tale so I had to read this. I get where she's coming from, I really do. The intent is well appreciat...

Surprise! Surprise! What an ending. Never saw it coming. An above average read. I would honestly say this is an author to watch.

Another Konrath slasher. I guess the formula is getting a little old. I am tired of having to say this: A Glock does not have a hammer nor a safety. If you do not know about guns, don't try to discuss them or include them in your books. It just makes you sound like someone who doesn't do resear...

Far be it for me to tell an author what to write but I feel an obligation to point out three facts of nature...1) When confronted with attacking cannibals and screaming people, babies tend to cry not sleep or "gurgle happily".2) No matter how stupid he is, a social worker would never take a gun on a...
