Title: Locked
Author: SV Richard
Published: 2012, Wild Child Publishing
Format: Ebook provided for review
Tristan’s old home old home is not what it appears, and her friends have no idea what this visit will turn into. When the room Tristan’s mother always kept locked is opened, chaos breaks loose. One by one, they are locked away.
Will anyone survive?
This story
starts out every bit the classic horror movie.
Four friends, deserted road that leads to a deserted house. It was terrific, and I only felt like I
should turn out the lights and grab some popcorn to enjoy the ride. But I don’t have a Kindle Paper White, so
that is not an option! (haha!)
Tristan,
Jen, Wes, and Todd are going to Tristan’s old home because she needs to locate
the deed to the property. She has
inherited the home, but can’t take full possession until she has the necessary
paperwork. Unfortunately for them, they
can’t find it anywhere.
Then things
quickly take a wrong turn.
Someone gets
locked in a small space, the door to the outside world won’t budge. And that is only the beginning. There is definitely some fear inducing, pulse
pounding moments in this story. I
started to rethink my decision about reading this book at night time. But I kept on for you guys, my readers! Yep, so if I need some therapy later, just
remember, “That Liz sure is dedicated to her blog!”
I had
relatively few complaints about this book.
There is some seriously eerie stuff that happens. But, and this is with any horror story, I wanted to scream, “Why are you doing that?!?!”
You know how it goes, the scantily clad coed runs inside the haunted house
rather than staying out in the open.
Well, there were no scantily clad coeds in this book, but the first rule
of horror is “Stay Together”. Ok, maybe
that’s not what Jamie Kennedy (from Scream fame) would say, but I think it’s a pretty
damn good rule. One that no one ever
listens to! In any case, this book was
scary! It is the perfect Halloween
treat!
