The Survivors

To date, I had only read one other book by Caroline Mitchell; Paranormal Intruder, for those of you who are wondering. Having just finished The Survivors, I can see I'm going to have to add more of her books to the already lengthy want-to-read list.
The Survivors is a sinister, fast paced, psychological thriller that is heavy on atmosphere, and stirs every emotion.
Set in the coastal village of Doolin, Co. Clare, the location adds to the atmosphere, as does the aptly named Misery Hill, where the cottage at the heart of the story sits.
The main protagonist is Maura, and let me tell you folks, she's hard to like. Oh, you'll feel a little sympathy for her at first, but eventually you'll be comparing her to Annie Wilkes, Stephen King's terrifying nurse.
I flew through this book because it was just too good to put down. It's quite an emotional read, and has as many twists as the road up to Misery Hill, but it is a very satisfying read.
This title is part of Amazon's First Reads for November.
