100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

This is exactly the type of supernatural thriller that I love (and I read in one sitting)!

Throughout history a patch of land in the quaint village of Oakwell has been cursed. 
1500's- A tribesman mysteriously kills all of his people and sets them, his village and himself aflame.

1800's- A stubborn business man insists on building a large house in the middle of the woods with the help of slave labor.

Present Day- Steve and Melody Samson are looking to escape from city life.  They find a cheap fixer-upper in the middle of the woods that Melody is drawn to.  Steve thinks it is plain old creepy.  As soon as they move in, Steve begins to hear strange whispering and is having nightmares.  The townsfolk are very reluctant to tell them anything about the house's history.  Can you hear the woods whispering for you?  If you can, it may already be too late...

I really enjoyed this ghostly thriller.  I thought the pace of the build of suspense was just right.  The plot was unique with the both fear of the supernatural and the natural.  The characters were believable, but definitely were making some weird choices (isn't that always the case with horror stories?)  The supporting character of Donovan gave me chills!
