The Fragment Trilogy: The Willow Tree by Bekki Pate
3.0
A supernatural horror story of Aria who loses her memory and finds herself in a building surrounded by flesh eating monsters. She escapes only to be attacked again, this time under a willow tree. She somehow saves herself by drawing on the power of the tree and is finally rescued by some kind people. Who is Aria, what do the monsters want with her and who can she trust?
As the cover proclaims, this is the start of a trilogy published by Britain's Next Bestseller a crowd-funding website where new authors can raise money to publish their works (which I think is a really good idea and no, I'm not sponsored by them). I really hope Bekki gets to publish the rest of this trilogy as I really enjoyed it.
Horror is not my thing, but I love a bit of fantasy and magic, this was just the right mix of gory details and mysteriousness to keep me wanting more. However, I think the characters could have been developed more, in some scenes they were a bit wooden and I didn't really understand how they were feeling. For example a few times a character was just talking and then broke down sobbing, there was no indication that they were feeling that bad.
I liked the storyline, it kept me hooked and I didn't guess the ending which is good. I would recommend this for someone wanting to dip their toe into horror but not have nightmares. I hope Bekki's next books build on this start, can't wait to read them.
