4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Modern Horror, April 18, 2006

This review is from: Familiar Spirit (Paperback)

I loved this book.I found it to be scary and gripping.I did not want to put it down. I also liked that it was set in modern times {The book came out in 1983, so I'll just assume its set in the 80s.}To me the book had a very distinct 80's feel to it which I enjoyed.I also thought the ending was terrific. I admit that it was pretty predictible, but I don't think that took any away from unforgettable effect.The mystery around Jade and the revelation of the real story behind him made for some heart pounding reading.
This is the first book of Lisa Tuttles that I've read, but after this I want to read more.

This review is from: Familiar Spirit (Paperback)

Horror with a staggering seductive flow. Swift read.
From book cover: "Now that her life with Brian was over, she would have a home of her own. She could begin again. But something was waiting for Sarah in her new house, waiting to welcome her, to make her feel at home. Something was waiting for Sarah in the night with golden eyes that glowed and burned, commanding her obedience, demanding her soul, promising her...
Sarah tried to escape the power, but night after night it drew her back, filling her with screaming horror one moment, and relentless, burning pleasure the next. She tried to escape the house, to fight the evil. But she came back. She will always come back because she is now, never alone...
