review 1: I chose this book because my sister told me it was a very interesting and scary novel. She was right on that account. The story was very thrilling, frightening and the author's description of the monster in the story was very well written. The story is about a 16 year old boy named Danny and his father who are running from the hovering ghost of loss and sorrow that bloomed when Danny's mother died from a cancer tumor in her brain. They were trying to run away, to forget that she died, but they could never forget how much pain she went through and how her life ended. Hoping to start a new life in Harvest Cove, Danny starts hearing and seeing strange sounds and figures. Little did he know that a flesh-eating monster was stalking and tormenting him and making plans to invite ... morehim to dinner. My favorite quote from the book is,"Everybody hears whispered gossip and rumors clear across town. But nobody hears the scream next door." This is my favorite quote because it describes human nature and how some people listen to lies and gossips and yet no one listens to reality and what is really going on.I liked how the author wrote the book in first-person view. I felt like I was the character myself, being chased by a human-eating monster. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a horror story filled with mystery. Additionally, I loved how the author gave the history of how and why the monster was made and how the Native American Windigo monster still haunted Harvest Cove. Overall, it was a fairly good and interesting story and I hope to read other works from the same author.
review 2: Danny and his father have been moving from place to place since his mother died. Their newest stop is Harvest Cove, up in the Canadian Big Empty. Here Danny has made a few friends and a possible love interest. One night when walking home, a hideous and terrifying creature attacks Danny- leaving no marks but a small pin-prick sized, blue dot. Shortly after, the creature attacks Danny's friend Howie. The group of friends start listening to local legends and realize the Windigo is a real monster and it has been attacking and abducting teens in the area for decades! They come up with a plan to defeat the monster before it pulls them in to their final resting place. This book was a little too creepy for me, but I can definitely seen teens loving it. I'd recommend it for ages 14 and up. less
