Trillingham by Wendy Potocki

There is something terrorizing Hillboro, bodies are found mutilated, half eaten and killed. Jen Nichols is certain there is something out there, not human committing these heinous murders. But no one believes her, not her boyfriend Phil or the Police.

The legend around Hillboro is there is a "monster" that can't be killed who is committing the crimes. Then a cemetery has been vandalize, a grave dug up, could there be a connection? One woman (Mary) seems to know the answers and she is determined to try her best to stop the killings and put this "creature" back to rest forever.

A well written fast paced horror story. I loved the plot, very original. I feel that those who love a good horror story will enjoy Trillingham

Kyle Evans just wants to fit in. He is an awkward teenager. Tired of being bullied he joins a gang at school called Hells Bells. The gang does horrible things just for the thrills. Things get out of hand when Kyle crosses a line and they are soon living a nightmare. Kyle is dealing with super natural powers that are quite angry and only he can stop the damage he created. Filled with suspense fast paced and very well written horror story.

Upon reading the synopsis, I was eager to read this book as I love stories that make me a bit scared, books that make me look over my shoulder and linger in the mind, and while this book did that in the main, there were aspects that infuriated me too. For my way of thinking the main character in any story is often the linchpin of a book, the common thread that everything is connected to and I believe it is important to make the character like-able or at least give them some redeeming qualities but Beth was completely self-centred, annoying and neurotic. The showdowns with her daughters’ father Daniel and his new partner Evelyn were embarrassing; I mean would any self-respecting mum conduct herself that way in public? By about a third of the way in I was almost urging The Man With The Blue Hat to just take her and be done with it! He would have probably done the town a favour. I understand that she was cheated on, it’s awful, and it’s sad that it happens in life but Beth kept going on and on about it as if she was the first woman that had ever been cheated on to the extent that I just didn’t care, the bitterness was just radiating from ever pore, she just kept trying to play the victim and it was winding me up because she refused to take the blame or even acknowledge that that she could be at fault for anything which is probably why it took so long to establish that it was indeed her actions that brought The Man With The Blue Hat to Breckenridge. Also, in many books, the dynamic between best friends is something that can be used as a strength but Beth and Callaghan didn’t have that warmth that I wanted to see, that warmth that should have been there, even before their troubles. They had a terrible way of talking to each other, it was cold, and at times just plain nasty, like they were barely acquaintances let alone best friends and when Beth hatched the revenge plot against Callaghan which culminated in such a shocking way, Beth came out of that particularly badly in my eyes. The stuff with Baphomet was seriously creepy and I found the closing scene at the park with Daniel and Evelyn left a bad taste in the mouth. I was left thinking that family doesn’t really mean a lot in this book which is sad to say the least. Ultimately disappointing.… (meer)

Kyle Evans is 15 years old. He's angry, confused,
and wants to establish a new Kyle. He won't be the
guy being bullied anymore. He wants to become
Mr. Toughguy, the rebel, the seeker of thrills and
excitement, a guy that demands respect or else.

Kyle finds a group of misfit boys. They offer brotherhood,
security, drugs, alcohol and women. Who could ask for
more? Kyle soon finds out that everything comes with a price.
The dark side of Spooky Town will force Kyle to rethink
his recent new found freedom. Killing a man in the road, with
a stolen car is the least of his problems. A voodoo priestess
is looking for justice, and will provide the thrills these boys
have been seeking.

An exciting, action packed read. The characters, and their
personal issues are very realistic. However, I feel as though the
dark magic was thrown in to created more excitement and
suspense. The story would still have been outstanding without it.
It would have changed the genre to suspense instead of horror.
All in all a very good read. 4/5
