\u201cA horror book that grips you from the start. I grew up reading horror by the likes of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and James Herbert, to name but a few. J.D. Barker deserves to have his name up there with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCreepy, atmospheric, well written\u2026this novel surprised me. If you love horror novels this is a must read.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 Author, Roxanne Rhoads<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMagnificent read. The story exists on the land that straddles suspense, thriller, and good ol\u2019 supernatural chill-fest. The term \u201cpage-turner\u201d has become cliched to the point of lost meaning, yet with Forsaken<\/i>, we are reminded where the phrase was born: between the pages of just such a book as this. Moving the story along at a rushing river\u2019s clip, Barker braids two tales together in a dance between present and past. We begin getting the slightest feeling that the two might be more intertwined than we at first suspected, but are kept in delighted suspense until Barker lets us see. He is generous in a manner. The reader is given an omnipresent view of the world inside the covers, and this serves to build tension as we become invested in the characters, sometimes wishing to grab them by the shoulders and shake them to their good senses, other times wanting desperately to tell them what\u2019s happening just outside their line of sight. All of these ingredients are combined in a clever and delicious story, one that reads fast and fun, and with just enough darkness laying over Barker\u2019s land to make us wonder, to make us check over our shoulders one more time, to watch the shadows\u2026 they\u2019re only shadows, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
