RBRs HALLOWEEN HAUNTS

Dark Eden

by Patrick Carman

The last thing Will Besting wanted to do, was be stuck on a bus with six other teenagers. They all had one thing in common: fear. They were all sent by Dr. Stevens to do the impossible, cure their fears. Dr Stevens had said she knew a man who could cure their fears. As they are told to go into the forest, Will follows his instincts. He runs. He observes what goes on in this ‘therapy camp’, Dark Eden, from afar and knows one thing. Things aren’t what they seem. They aren’t going after their fears, their fears are going after them. As Will listens, one question haunts his mind. Can they cure their fears, or is fear the cure?

Woah. Seriously.

This book is amazing (that word seriously does not do it justice.) *grabs thesaurus*

This book is astounding. Patrick Carman'’s ‘'Skeleton Creek'’ is amazing, but I feel that this book is his best. Ever (although, I haven'’t read all his books yet.) It blew the hinges off my door of expectations (no joke.) After months of anticipation, I looked at the book before me and wondered if maybe my expectations were too high.

*snorts* yeah, right.

If you read one book this year, this should be it. Will grabbed my attention and more importantly, my emotions. As Will tells his tale you become mesmerized in something so.......…relatable and at the same time, otherworldy. As he laughs you laugh and as his heart breaks, yours breaks too. That was just so…...masterful. Perfect. Not to mention, this book had more twists in it than a stick of licorice. I cannot wait for the next installment. For all you who want to know the ‘'negatives’': two cuss words. It didn'’t bother me. For all you tech/new wave people out there, the story is also told in app form (which is also fantastic, by the way.)
