This is the first book I ever read and fell in love with; I was 8 and having trouble in school reading because "The Oxford Reading Tree" was boring me to years. My father was at his wits end because he know once I had a book I loved I would become an avid reader and, he was right. I love the detail and the way King grips you from the first page. He creates an image of a small town that could very well be your own and poisons the very blood running through it's veins. King chooses an easy target, children, and turns them into the warrior hero that saves not only themselves but the town itself. Utterly terrifying but a book that you have to continue reading until the very end. A classic.

Olivia Hawk is 16 years old and has been accused of killing Ashland Steele. Ashland is the daughter of Florian Steele. Mr. Steele is the largest employer in the small town of Barron, Minnesota. Olivia lives in the neighboring town of Croix and these cities have been at each other's throats for quite some time. The reason, Florian Steele's company.

This is another new author for me. This book was very shocking and pulled at my heart strings. It's a story of loss, revenge, sacrifice, love, sickness, family. Makes you asks questions like: What am I willing to do to save my child? what will I do for my brother's love? What will I do to save my company? What will I do without my wife? Who is killing all these people? To find the answers you have to read the book.

Stan has just moved to a small Connecticut town and is taking her cat to the only bet in town for the first time when she finds Carole's dead body on the floor. The vet wasn't well loved, but with the police and local gossip focusing on her as the killer, she needs to act fast to find out who really killed the vet.

I certainly enjoyed this debut. The pets were absolutely charming if not always well behaved. Stan was a refreshing change of pace for a main character because she reacts more realistically to what is happening to her than many main characters do. The plot could have been stronger, but overall it was still entertaining.
