- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well constructed story with accompanying narration that enhanced the authors vision. I found the visualizations strong. And the story flowed very well, there was one spot in the story I questioned as a small miss step but quickly lost sight of it. The story was not short on horror, those scenes were great. There was sexual madness threw out the story...good, bad, lust, raunchy, you name it it was in there. A couple of spots were bit predictable otherwise I would have given the 5th star. This story does have most of the boxes checked off in my book, well done.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The story is a bit nonsensical in my opinion. Cartoonish characters and not a real story behind the monsters that lurk in the dark. I’ll admit there were some gruesome and scary scenes but overall I don’t understand what the purpose of the story is.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Creepy, creepy, creepy! Just my kind of story. I did find that Mr. Janz, while writing a goosebump producing story seems to more than once to set up scenario's that seem to be so impossible to escape that any way the characters find to solve a problem is equally impossible to believe. I didn't find that that took any enjoyment away from the story...just made me have to reassess my way of thinking. If you are a reader that just reads and doesn't try too hard to solve things...that won't bother, you at all. I had read that the author grew up between a very dark woods and a graveyard...so he certainly uses his past experiences when creating these stories that suck you in and keeps you wanting and coming back for more. This is the third book by Joanathan Janz that I have read. One moment he has you seeing a beautiful expanse of forest, and a future for this young couple, and the next...every living thing that is seen or unseen becomes an awaking of the most sinister and malevolent forces you can imagine. In the turn of a page the safe harbor has becomes a prison. You'll love the two main characters that now own the house that was inherited from Chris's aunt, but it isn't very far into the story that you will discover that the house has other plans...it may now "own" them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love a good story... This one kept me on edge and I couldn't put it down. It isn't for the faint of heart but you should give it a try anyway. You become a part of Jonathan's story. I could envision each character from their personalities to their looks. His details are vivid and come to life on each page. Every hair on my body stood up as I turned the pages with anticipation. I would love to read a sequel to this one... Great job Jonathan***
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5He’s the author who can always make the improbable so scary you’ll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door. This chilling novel will haunt you, and make your blood run cold and your heart race with fear.Jonathan Janz vividly describes and perpetuates. Reading this book is like slipping into the Overlook yourself, as Janz tells the characters' stories through his superb writing and vivid imagination. The pages seem to fly by your eyes without a whim, your brain just sucking up the story like a vacuum, and once you reach the "explosive" end, you may be wishing for more.Jonathan Janz is a master storyteller.
