My Review: Don't Breath A Word

Don't Breath A Word -  by Jennifer McMahon

From Good Reads

On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn’t fear the dark and doesn’t have bad dreams—who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam’s hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed—a promise that could destroy them all.

My Rating 4 Stars

I received this book for review from NetGalley.  This title will be released on June 1, 2011.

This is the first book I read by this author and it won’t be my last.  I like the writing style of Jennifer McMahon.  Don’t Breath a Word is a fast read, it was creepy, ghostly, disturbing and yet compelling.  The story flows nicely, once you get used to the jumping of dates, it becomes a seamless read that will leave you wanting more.  You really feel connected to the characters and you can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

  1. I have seen this book and wondered about it. The front cover kind of creeps me out. It was good to read your review on it.

  2. I have a copy waiting to read. I will definitely need to get to it soon. I love the idea of "disturbing and yet compelling".

  3. I almost requested this one on Net Galley and maybe I still will - sounds like it was worth a good read...was it more mystery genre than anything else? Fantasy? Or what would you say?
