But always a joy. I reread many of John Saul’s books. They are so were written it’s worth the time. Never disappoints. Would like some new material ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Scary Tale From John Saul *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2009* Best-Selling suspense writer John Saul has written many scary novels, most recently "Faces of Fear", "The Devil's Labyrinth", and "In The Dark Of The Night". But, with his latest installment, he has managed to top his previous best-sellers.Sarah Crane and her father Ed live together on a farm in rural Vermont. Six months earlier, Sarah's mother passed away from cancer. Now, Sarah has been left to care for her father and the farm. Ed drowns his sorrows in alcohol while Sarah takes care of him and the house. One evening, things go too far as Ed accidentally kills a man in a barroom brawl. Sarah, unsure of where her father is, has set out looking for him. Unfortunately for her, Ed decided to drive home drunk and he runs into Sarah with his truck. Ed is arrested, convicted of manslaughter, and sent to prison. Sarah is placed in the home of Angie and Mitch Garvey.Once in the Garvey home, Sarah soon learns that she is nothing more than a slave. She's forced to serve all the meals, clean up afterward, and share a room with Tiffany, her foster sister. The Garvey family has no love for Sarah, seeing her as only a way to supplement their income. Things are no better for her at school. She is shunned and made fun of by classmates. Her only salvation is in her art class, and she comes to like her art teacher, Bettina Phillips. Bettina is accused of being a witch by members of the town because she lives in a run-down old house, reads tarot cards, and practices herbal healing. But, Bettina realizes Sarah's eye for art, and the two become friends.Sarah soon meets a boy named Nick Dunnigan at school. Nick, much like Sarah, is shunned by his classmates because they believe he's crazy. Nick hears strange voices in his head and he's not sure why. But, he and Sarah soon become friends.The relationship between Sarah and Bettina continues to grow, and Sarah finds herself going over to Bettina's home, called Shutters. Once there, however, Sarah begins to experience things altogether different and disturbing. She sees horrifying images conjured up from the house's past which she mysteriously paints exactly, despite never having seen them before. She soon finds out that Nick is having hallucinations about the same images that she paints. Now bound together, Bettina, Sarah, and Nick embark on a journey that is both revealing and disturbing at the same time.I've read several of John Saul's books, and all have been very good. I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical about this book, but once I started it, I could barely put it down. The story builds throughout, and then comes crashing together in an action-filled conclusion. Saul's style of building the story is clearly evident here. The characters are well-developed, and the story itself is chilling and exciting.I give this fine book my highest recommendation. Fans of horror and suspense will love this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thrilling and full of twists *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016* 'House of Reckoning' was an absolute page turner. I was pulled in from the beginning and had a very hard time putting it down. The storyline was full of thrilling scenarios, despicable characters and circumstances that blew away my emotions. I got so caught up in the story that I felt a part of it and even felt the anguish Sarah and Nick felt. They were great kids whom were dealt a bad hand. Sarah had already been through the ringer and then thrown into a whole new level of hell. I loved that she never lost her loving nature. She took the hits that kept coming, but while doing so, she always looked at the bright side. Nick was in a hell of his own, within himself. I admired the way he basically embraced his life when Sarah became his friend. They made great allies. The other characters were a mix of despicable personalities, hateful beliefs, the holier than thou attitudes and a few that were truly loving. As the story played out, the twists were unexpected and at the same time welcomed. I loved the ending that was quite ironic. A must add to your tbr list.
