This review is from: Bethany's Sin (Paperback)

After reading the reviews posted here, I approached Bethany's Sin with a degree of caution as it wasn't that highly rated. But having enjoyed almost every other Robert McCammon book I've read, I didn't think it could be all bad. I'm happy to say that I found this book most enjoyable. Bethany's Sin is a small Pennsylvania town where the main character Evan, his wife Kay, and his daughter Laurie move. It's soon apparent that life in this town is not as quaint and peaceful as it first appeared. Kay begins having horrific and violent nightmares after meeting the towns mayor and primary antagonist, Kathryn Drago. It's up to Evan to unravel the dark secrets of the town before its too late to save himself and his family from the horrors of the coming "killing month". Sin is fairly quick read and has an interesting slant on the legend of the Amazon women and their hostile relationship with men. Some of the descriptions of this are downright brutal. It's a good horror story with some very creepy moments. Well worth reading in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for horror fans!, June 26, 1999

A story line with a difference. Anicent evil, muderous monster women in the night and a great misunderstood hero, who could ask for more. This fast paced horror/thriller really delivers the creeps. You will not be able to put it down. Take a King break and read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book., April 14, 1999

I found I could not put it down. I have been trying to find other books involving Amazon Women and have not had much luck. I liked the concept of the Amazon women, and their show of strength and independence. I do not necessarily feel that they need to hate men in order to show this.
