This was one creepy page turner! I have never read anything by Travis Thrasher, and after reading this one, I'm going to be looking for more works by him.

The storyline takes place in a small town in North Carolina called Solitary. When 16 year old Chris Buckley moves to Solitary with his mother after his parents divorce, he was not accepted. At first he thought it was because he was the new kid, but found that something much, much darker was at work there. The Solitary residents held a secret that they refuse to share with outsiders. Chris befriended a beautiful girl, Jocelyn Evans, and found that even she kept dark secrets that she was terrified to share with Chris.

Travis Thrasher can certainly spin a terrifying tale! I found that I couldn't put this book aside, and was just mesmerized by it all the way through to the last page. His characters are interesting with many layers making them very realistic and not always what they first appear to be.

I have read the comment that Thrasher could be the Stephen King of Christian fiction. I'm not sure of that, but I do know that he can spin a fantastic tale. I do think that those that like Ted Dekker or Stephen King would enjoy "Solitary". I know I did!!
