Help for the Hunted
By: John Searles
Genre: Adult Horror
Pages: 368

1.5 out of 5
I haven’t read a great horror book,
since I used to read Stephen King novels years ago. Not that you should compare
other horror novels to the great prolific Stephen King, but this one failed
miserably. It wasn’t suspenseful, horrifying or any other word to describe a
good horror story. All events and
circumstances that seemed to be important in this novel NEVER went anywhere or
developed. The ending came out of left field. I like being surprised or
discover a twist ending, but not a new person or twist that wasn’t foreshadowed
at all. This author took a seemed to write an ending to a completely different
novel and my only thought was “What a cop-out”.
I continued to read the novel only because it had such good promise,
even if not a horror and it just died. I did not hate this book, but do not
recommend it either.
