End of Watch by Stephen King is the final book in the series that started with Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers. In this book Brady Hartsfield is in a hospital. He is in a vegetative state, or is he? Turns out that he has special powers now and the two detectives, Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney better watch out or else!
This book was vintage King! I just never knew where this was going to turn. I enjoyed this book as much as the other two—LOVED IT! What a great series!

"Defender" by Graham McNamee
Defender by Graham McNamee is a creepy mystery about family secrets that Tyne and her friend, Stick accidentally discover and proceed to figure it out. Tyne is the building superintendent's high school daughter who is really tall and plays center on her basketball team. When Tyne find's a dead girl's cut up body hidden in her basement wall, she thinks her dad knows something about it or had something to do with it.
This is a very quick read that I liked okay. It is creepy though but had a good ending. To me, this came across as a bit unrealistic that Tyne and Stick could put together the pieces to the mystery so easily. (Karen's review, 3 stars)

"Ashley Bell" by Dean Koontz Lives up to the Hype!
In Ashley Bell by Dean Koontz, a young girl named Bibi Blair is having a good life. Then one day out of the blue, she is rushed into emergency ER. She is young and thinks that this is no big deal. She finds out that she has brain cancer and has one year to live! But her recovery is unbelievable and a woman tells her that her life was spared so she can save Ashley Bell. Save her from what, or whom? Who is Ashley Bell?
There has been a lot of book hype about this novel and the hype is the real deal! As usual, Koontz goes into stuff you would find hard to believe, but that is part of the fun! I LOVED IT!

"The Boy Who Killed Demons" by Dave Zeltserman is Entertaining
The Boy Who Killed Demons by Dave Zeltserman is told by a 15-yr.-old boy named Henry. He can see evil in other people, which he calls “demons.” He keeps a journal of his actions and that is what makes up this book. I enjoyed reading this. Parts of it are sort of kiddish, so some people might get turned off by that. Overall, this book kept me turning pages and the action was pretty good. It has a very nice ending.

"Revival" by Stephen King Gave Me Chills

befriended Jamie when he was a small boy.

"The Boy Who Drew Monsters" by Keith Donohue is a Spooky Story
The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue is about Jack Peter Keenan, a boy with Aspergers who is afraid of going outside so does not, ever. Jack draws pictures of monsters and then people begin to see them, or do they? He has one friend, a boy about his age. This is a really good spooky story! I LOVED it a lot! The ending is one of the best I have read in a while. Give it a chance.

"Above" by Isla Morley is a Page Turner! (UPDATED)
Above by Isla Morley is a book that is about a scary time and a girl, Blythe, who hangs on to hope to help her survive a terrible situation she is in. She is kidnapped at age 16 by a man she trusted, held prisoner in a silo underground for 15 years! Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, they do! This book really had me feeling sorry for Blythe and brought up emotions of sadness, anger, disgust and finally relief. It has a twist I did not expect at all and really caught me by surprise. It is written from the girl’s perspective so the reader only gets to see what the girl sees, feels and thinks. If you like novels about survival in tough situations with surprises along the way, I recommend this one. This is a page turner that kept me reading because I had no clue what would happen next and wanted to see how it was going to end. It reminded me a little of In the After.
(Karen's review 11/1/14, 4 stars)
Above by Isla Morley is about a young teen girl named Blythe. She is taken captive and held by a man in a silo for 15 years. What happens in that silo makes for very interesting reading. When she finally escapes, she finds that lots of things have changed. This is a real page turner. The first part of the book was my favorite but the second part, although not as good, kept me reading to find out how it will all turn out. Worth reading for sure!
