Apparitions Review!

This review was so exciting to see! Especially after the day I just had. Thanks James!

Northwoods Journal Review, August 23, 2007

..>..>I have a tired and true measure of how good I think a book is-- if I finish a book over the course of two or three nights then the book falls into my must read category and Apparitions fits that bill.

This debut novel by Raven Bower is a wonderfully crafted supernatural/horror story that is sure to keep the reader up late into the night. Reclusive author Bailey Khane has a secret, something much scarier than missing a writing deadline, she is visited by spirits of murder victims and only by writing down the details of their murders can these wayward souls find solace and move on in peace. But evil forces have discovered her hiding spot from the world and other "things", and they want to destroy her or anyone else in their way.
This hair-raising story raises an interesting question--what is scarier, supernatural evil or human evil? Because Apparitions is not only about paranormal monsters but it is also a story of the evil that lurks in the worst of us.
I really enjoyed Ms. Bower's book except for the fact that I have a pond in my backyard that I enjoyed swimming in from time to time. Unfortunately after reading her book it will be quite some time before I take a dip into the water. Readers will understand why.
