Forsaken: Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga by J.D. Barker

3.0

Many thanks to Maxine for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. This is quite a good horror story that keeps you turning the page. Its central focus is a writer and his family who are tormented by a range of strange happenings, indicating all is not well and that things might be about to get worse. The two intertwined stories of the novel and the present day work well, even if the novel is a bit slow to start. I got into the story straight away and looked forward to it as part of my nightly read. By the end the whole story picks up the pace to an exciting climax. Enjoyable reading and good first novel!
