Fiction eBook Review – Shadows by Joan De La Haye

Posted by Trevas On December - 30 - 2008

For anyone who enjoys the horror genre, they won’t want to miss Joan De La Haye’s latest eBook. Shadows is the latest from Rebel Publishers, and is currently available from the MobiPocket store.

Shadows tells Sarah’s story. The main character is struggling with her father’s recent suicide, dealing with a cheating boyfriend, and at the same time wondering if she is losing here mind. After eventually stabbing her boyfriend and falling into a catatonic state, Sarah is admitted to a mental hospital where must face her demons.

The book contains elements of the supernatural, and deals with many appropriately horrific issues (rape, suicide, incest), and is a genuinely good read. The characters are all well rounded, and many of them are characters you will love to hate. As you make your way through Joan’s book you can expect to be drawn right in, and you’ll find yourself constantly looking for what happens next.

The book includes all of the right elements to make it a great horror novel: suspense, great characters, disturbing issues, and even throws in a bit of the supernatural. If you’ve been looking for your next “scary” book, I am definitely recommending Shadows by Joan De La Haye. I will be watching for the next book from this great new eBook author.

A Short Excerpt from Shadows

She couldn’t help but wonder what her punishment would be now that her uncle was no longer there to punish her. Would it be eternal damnation? That had always been her mother’s punishment of choice. Or would it be a slow, bloody end? Keys rattled in the door interrupting her thoughts. She heard their voices as they came in the door. Then she realised what her punishment was.

It was Kevin. Kevin’s happiness, short lived though it would be, was her punishment. But her reward would be sweet, as sweet as revenge could be.
