The Troubles Keeper by Susan May
5.0
With a terrific pace, and intriguing premise and great writing, 'The Troubles Keeper' is a 'must-read' for horror fans.
With characters you grow fond of, and some very unexpected turns this is an excellent paranormal thriller that will put Susan May in your 'read-everything' list.
Very recommended.
Audiobook review:
I should know it by now: if Susan May wrote it, I'll love it.
But seriously, this book is simply fantastic. The idea behind it is fascinating; the premise of the story is original and so intriguing.
And Rory! Rory is probably the best of her characters: generous, a bit shy, sweet but courageous and with an inner fortitude that will help him along the terrifying times ahead. Although, in truth, all the characters are interesting and very well drawn, and I cared deeply about all of them. There are some truly scaring moments and some heartbreaking ones, too, but the thing is, once I began, I simply couldn't stop. I spent the whole day listening to the story, wanting and fearing what would come next.
This is a very much recommended story, and, to be honest, a most recommended author. You won't regret entering in her worlds.
Oh, and Steve Marvel honours his last name, as his narration was a true marvel. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself!) Seriously, the subtlety of his tones, the emotional charge of his narration made this even a better experience.
