An abandoned building. A dank cellar. And inside it, a cage of bones—with a shocking surprise lurking within. Carver's new thriller will scare the daylights out of you. Into the house. Down the stairs. Through the dripping dark of the cellar. Someone is there. Someone that shouldn't be there. As a building awaits demolition, a horrifying discovery is made inside the basement: a cage made of human bones—with a terrified, feral child lurking within. Unbeknownst to Detective Inspector Phil Brennan and psychologist Marina Esposito, they have disturbed a killer who has been operating undetected for thirty years. A killer who wants that boy back. But the cage of bones is also a box of secrets—secrets linking Brennan to the madman in their midst. With the death toll rising and the city reeling in terror, Brennan and Marina race to expose a predator more soullessly evil than any they've ever faced—and one who is hiding in plain sight.

This was a very chilling and thrilling read. Had cold chills throughout the book,most def it gets a Terrifyingly Buzzing 5 review. Just loved it!! Gonna put Tania Carver on my favorite author list.

August 2005.

Amid death and destruction, hurricane-savaged New Orleans has a new dark force to fear.

As the rescue efforts unfold, a grisly discovery is made at one of the massive refrigerator “graveyards.” One of these metal hulks contains six human hands - all female, all right hands. The press has dubbed the unknown perpetrator “The Handyman.” But with no way to trace the origin of this refrigerator, and with evidence lost to time and the elements, the case dead-ends.

Captain Patti O’Shay is a straight-arrow, by-the-book cop who is assigned to the case. Her tough, unflinching character is fractured when her husband and fellow police captain is found murdered - surprised by looters taking advantage of the post-storm chaos.

August 2007
Patti, still grieving and disillusioned, gets a call from homicide: skeletal remains have been unearthed in City Park. The unknown victim - a female - is missing her right hand. But for Patti, this grave holds something even more shocking. Found beside the victim’s bones is her husband’s police badge.

Casting aside the very “rule book” by which she has lived her life, Patti is fearless - but so is the killer. As he stalks her she is forced to question all she believes in, to doubt the code she has lived by…because she knows that if she doesn’t find The Handyman first, she will become his last known victim.

Erica spindles a fine web in this Shocking Thriller. In the mist of this post-storm hurricane Katrina is on it's way to New Orleans. Not only is everybody trying to find cover from this devastating storm but for some there is a fate far worse...

Spindler kept me engrossed with the Handyman Killer. I felt like I was playing a game of Clue (board game I loved playing)... Everytime I guessed who the Handyman Killer may or may not be I would be way way off in this game play.. But I do know the weapon of choice is defiantly not with the candle stick...

The It Girl meets The Exorcist in this chilling, haunted boarding school tale

New-girl Lindsay discovers all is not right at the prestigious Marlwood Academy for Girls. Ethereal, popular Mandy and her clique are plotting something dangerous. Lindsay overhears them performing strange rituals, and sees their eyes turn black. It doesn't help that the school itself is totally eerie, with ancient, dilapidated buildings tucked into the Northern California woods, a thick white fog swirling through campus. There are hidden passageways, odd reflections in the windows at night, and scariest of all is the vast lake rumored to have captured the ghost of a girl who drowned many years ago.

What Lindsay doesn't yet realize is that Mandy and her cohorts are becoming possessed by spirits who have haunted the school for two hundred years. Spirits who want someone dead...

And that someone is Lindsay.

This is totally an awesome book, I loved it. I hated for it to end and the twist Holder put at the end. OMG OMG,ok SHHH hush not going to spoil it... Lets just say Possessions gave me goosebumps from beginning to end and left me wanting more.

The girls from Marlwood Academy is anything but nice,they are evil down to the very core...

Will she be able to save her new BFF (Julie) from this wicked crowed?? What actually happened all those years ago at Marlwood???

I'm totally siked to read the next book in this series,The Evil Within. I really want to know what happens to Troy. Is he part of the cruel sickness at Marlwood or is he an actual victim???

Let me start off by saying this was a totally awesome book. It kept me peeked to the very end. So Why didn't I give it a 5 star??? Well that's because I believe the author got sloppy at the end...I just felt like Duncan was trying to end it to quickly... It was such a good book too,I was all up in it and boom yaw it was all over with a sucky ending...

Review - Fang by James Patterson

Fang By James Patterson

Angel says that Fang will be the first to die, and Angel is never wrong. Maximum Ride is used to living desperately on the run from evil forces sabotaging her quest to save the world—but nothing has ever come as close to destroying her as this horrifying prophetic message. Fang is Max's best friend, her soul mate, her partner in the leadership of her flock of winged children. A life without Fang is a life unimaginable.
When a newly created winged boy, the magnificent Dylan, is introduced into the flock, their world is upended yet again. Raised in a lab like the others, Dylan exists for only one reason: he was designed to be Max's perfect other half. Thus unfolds a battle of perfection versus passion that terrifies, twists, and turns . . . and meanwhile, the apocalypse is coming.

Let me start out by saying that I'm a huge fan of James Patterson. He's a brilliant author. I love just about every novel that he has ever written. He puts his talent to good use when it comes to writing.

Fang is the 6th book in the Maximum Ride series,however It was the first book I read from this series. I have to admit I hate reading a series out of order,but Fang was such a good book that it wouldn't have any problems of standing alone on it's own... Still I would like to go back and read the rest in this series...

They call themselves bird kids,cause they have angel like wings and they stick together like a flock of birds does. The bird kids have many enemies,if it's not evil god scientists wanting to improve the world( by doing harmful experiments on humans),it's the erasers(werewolves) trying to emulate them. I'm all about helping to improve the world but I have to agree with Max(leader of the flock) on this one. I couldn't jeopardize my flock after what I've learned about the not so great Dr. Hans.

Who do he think he is (DR Hans)??? He created Dylan another type of bird kid to be Max's perfect half. Come on now he may be drop dead gorgeous,but I fell in love with Fang.. Fang has always been there for the flock,fought beside them,helped Max out quite a few times when the kids got unruly. So to me Fang is Max's perfect half,her soul mate.. "You can lead a camel to water but you can not make him drink". That's the way I feel about that little scenario. So leave Fang and Max alone they're prefect for each other.
