Right at the beginning I thought "This is beautiful AND horrible... What have I gotten myself into?" I quickly realized I'd gotten myself into a good story. I don't usually buy into the whole reincarnation thing, but the way this story is told I feel like even a nonbeliever can still get caught up in the story as if it were factual. It was interesting to have a blind character at the center of things, and to see the contrasts between blind and sighted when the reincarnation takes place. The stor...
Erica Ferencik managed to write one of the most chilling tales I have ever read! I couldn't put it down and now I have to sleep with the lights on at night.You absolutely must read this book. Everything is in there...love, suspense,the supernatural, twists and turns that will keep you guessing. What more could you ask for?I can hardly wait for her next book to come out!
The tears kept coming, but she didn't seem sad. Her face was open and elated. "Some of us, when we die, Lucy, we don't really die. We go to another body. We're called Repeaters."The story opened with a short chapter about a mother bird selfishly taking the life of her young. It was dark and oddly beautiful at the same time, and it foreshadowed the story that was to come. Repeaters was mesmerizing, dealing with themes of reincarnation and the dark human behaviour of self preservation. Humans are
Good thrillerThis is a captivating and fun thriller. It grabs you by the second page and makes it difficult to put down.
Erica Ferencik has a wonderfully humorous but evil mind. Or perhaps make that an evilly humorous, wonderful mind. In Repeaters, she introduces us to some reincarnates who either died violently or haven't yet learned to love, and who repeat and repeat their lives as time moves on until they finally experience loving another human being and are at last able to escape from themselves. It's not clear where they escape to, exactly, but at least they are released from coming back as depraved humans or...
So unexpectedly engrossing, you don't dare to stop reading. Normally I stay away from books labeled supernatural thrillers, playing on so often used themes of reincarnation, romance and murder, but Erica Ferencik's novel goes well beyond the chilling twists and turns of a gripping horror story. This is a truly unsettling tale that deals audaciously with the ambiguities of motherhood, love, rivalry, revenge and their never-ending cycle. There seems to be a terrifying question lurking behind the g...
This was completely bonkers. Re-incarnation aside, this is basically a painfully unsexy melodrama about crazy ladies fighting over a man. It could have been kind of charming if not for its questionable portrayal of women. I quite enjoyed the author's novel about crazy ladies going white water rafting though.
I read a lot of books but I don't normally write reviews. I just had to comment on this book though. I am not scared by slashers and I am not squeamish about blood splatter. Hence I find much of the horror / thriller genre too boring to waste precious time reading. What makes a good creepy thriller is a great story told in a way that it takes you out of the world you are really in and places you in to a world that you really don't want to be in. You don't dare stop reading. This disturbing other...
