Now, sustained by an AA community in a New Hampshire Town, Dan comforts the dying at a nursing home, where they call him “Doctor Sleep.” But before his remnant power can fade forever, Dan meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone. whose spectacular gifts pull him into an epic war with an otherworldly tribe that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to battle for the young girl’s soul and survival.

My Review:

Alright, first let me start off by saying that I cannot read a Stephen King’s novel without becoming extremely emotionally and mentally invested into it. I hoping that happens for other fans as well (no? just me? So I’m the weirdo then, I see. 😦 )

Synopsis: 

Caroline Gillespie is not famous. She’s a nobody. And that’s the way she likes it. Her father, on the other hand — Hank Keeling, the serial killer and occasional cannibal better known as the Pork Chop Killer — has just gone viral. Thanks to a prison guard’s error, a cell phone video of Keeling’s botched execution is quickly becoming an internet sensation. After watching her father die in all his pixelated glory, Caroline is taken off-guard when Keeling himself shows up at her front door, looking very much not dead. And he has a plan. A plan involving Caroline. A plan Caroline is going to take part in whether she wants to or not. Success means wealth beyond her dreams. Failure means death. Soon Caroline is whisked away from her bland life to face down killers, gangsters and a well-meaning cop in a hunt for long-lost fortune. Deceit, avarice and unrelenting violence collide in a coming-of-age story like none you’ve ever read

My Review:

Upon perusing the Amazon Kindle books section, I came across this little piece of work which enticed me with firstly its cover and then by its synopsis. I am a HUGE fan of Hannibal Lecter, starring Anthony Hopkins so this book definitely tickled my fancy. (No I am not a cannibal if you’re wondering 😛 )

Synopsis: 

Years and distance kept the memories at bay. But back at home, the past is ready and waiting to haunt her…

Eighteen years have passed since Joy’s childhood best friend, Jenny, met her death in a tragic car accident just a few days after their senior prom. A broken Joy left their small Kentucky hometown shortly after–determined never to come back. But when her father’s illness forces her to return, she realizes that neither time nor distance have truly healed her troubled soul.

Plagued with nightmares of the accident and crippled by a vague fear whose source she can’t identify, Joy realizes that in order to move on she must face the truth behind several disturbing gaps in her memory of that fateful spring. But the only person who can help her is a man she despises–Jenny’s erstwhile boyfriend Jeff, now a respected doctor, whose carelessness as a teenager was the cause of Jenny’s horrendous death–and Joy’s own emotional destruction. Can she ever forgive? She may have no choice but to try. Because both the danger she sensed–and the childhood friendship she treasured–now suddenly seem very much alive…

My Review:

Have you noticed my pretty little picture? The one with the pink kindle? Yes that’s mine 😀 I just loved the way the colours looked. And that coffee was to die for! Let’s not get into how much that Chocolate Digestive Biscuit complimented the coffee so well. Ugh! Perfect evening. So the picture should tell you that I read this book in the kindle form, but the paperback is also available.. I’ll put the link at the end of this post.
