Hinton Hollow Death Trip by Will Carver

4.0

I am not sure if you ever read a book by Will Carver, just one advise, be prepared for a different story, were there are no rules or typical plots, expect the unexpected. Ready?
When I start reading one of the Orenda books I normally don’t know what’s the plot, I know that it will be different from the others, original and special, of course this one is not different, mainly because it’s told by the Evil himself…! No jokes, this is a little “adventure” of his life in Earth, not something big, only 5 days in his life and how he completely changed Hinton Hollow. And, as the Evil himself repeats quite often, he doesn’t kill or throw rocks, he only makes a little wave in the human’s thoughts, the actions resulting of it will depend only to them.
This is the third book of the series Detective Sergeant Pace, you can read it as standalone, yes, but this is not a typical series where there’s a case and the detective investigates it, so I would recommend you to start from the beginning, the books are “special” (if you are looking for a word to describe them) something that I am sure you’ve never read before. There are some characters that are part of the story in all of them, but the story is interesting per se, you don’t need to know their connections.
This is not an easy read, it will disturb you and make you re-think the actions and decisions you’ve taken in your life as you start reading, the Evil will let you go away and close the book, you’ll have plenty of time to do it, but once you get hooked to the story you’ll not be able to stop reading, because, who can say no to the Evil? Not me, of course!
Ready for the Hinton Hollow Death Trap?
