Product Description

Young Min passes up a chance for a pre-Thanksgiving trip to the city with her parents, never suspecting that this decision will place her in a life-or-death situation. Due to the ferocious snowstorm that catches everyone by surprise, her parents are stranded out on an impassible highway, but it provides the cover Bruno Hessle, a maniacal serial killer, needs to walk away from a minimum security prison near the Quinnu village. He holes up in the warm kitchen where Min sleeps up in the attic to keep warm; forcing her to use everything she has been taught to escape the clutches of this madman. Will she be able to outwit him before her parents arrive and he kills them as they walk through the door?

4.0 out of 5 stars Your Worst Nightmare!, January 24, 2008
Ms. Pinord is an artful storyteller. Her very visual style transports the reader to places we'd love to go, yet hate to be trapped in. Her description of the village and surrounding landscape is so thorough that I feel like I've been there. We feel it's charm and share the Life of it's people. But then, just as skillfully, she takes us inside the mind of a serial killer...a 'monster' who lives to inflict pain and exact revenge on anyone he targets. The villagers are ill-prepared to deal with this evil deposited in their midst...or are they? Ms. Pinord takes each of us back to our childhood when our worst nightmare was being small and defenseless against some beastly intruder. This talented author gives us a superb backstory on our characters and even our 'monster'. She manages to evoke a modicum of sympathy for him although we know that difficult choices must be made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pinord's Monster, August 24, 2008
By poetrylover (New York) - See all my reviews
There is a darkness in most people, most never see the light of day.

Ms. Pinord shines with her inner monster named Bruno Hessle all at the expense of heroine Min.

Another book which challenges anything that Tony Hillerman could have imagined, we are set into a dark and morbid world of terror. The serial killer Bruno allows no one to be safe from his merciless reign, not even his own mother.

The rage of the passion of a snowstorm flows through the pages of this novel, and leaves you cold and alone. Her descrption is so great, you shake your self momentarily free from the book and realize you are sitting back in your home, and everything that happened. The snow filled woods were all the stuff of imagination.

It grips you that well, and it leaves little doubt that Ms. Pinord will soon receive the acclaim she very well deserves.

Excellent book, don't miss this one folks!

5.0 out of 5 stars A scary great read, January 3, 2008
By ellen "ellen in atlanta" (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Tomanous - The Quinnu term for a guardian used only for good - the white men call them 'guardian angels' but they are so much more - as described in Lila L. Pinord's taut Min's Monster - indeed, the beginning pages are so full of beauty describing a sighting of a young man's Tomanous, you wonder how does this fit in with a frightening book...
but oh, it does....
Set in the 1950's, on a Quinnu Reservation, a prisoner escapes - not your run of the mill bad guy - this guy cut his own mother's tongue out to keep her from ratting on him - escapes and finds refuge in what he thinks is an empty cabin - But it's not -
The cabin's owners are going into the city for a pre-Thanksgiving run - but their young daughter, Min, decides to stay back -
In the meantime - a riproaring snowstorm starts and makes all traffic come to a standstill -
Min must keep herself hidden from this man who has taken over the cabin - and when she is found out - begins a terrifying cat and mouse chase with high stakes - Bruno - the escapee is becoming a monster - his Tomanous? - and he/it wants to kill Min -
In the meantime, Min's parents, the sheriff, and others are trying to get to the cabin -
This is a time without cellphones, computers, and modern conveniences - so Min cannot warn or be warned - or told help is on the way -
But - here is another Tomanous - Min's animal spirit is a Crow - and it overlooks and guides the people to Min -
This is not a story for the faint of heart - The ending is a hold your breath I can't believe this is happening ending -
A sweet looking lady like Mrs. Pinord doesn't look like she can write something as scary as this - but, come to think of it, probably Mary Shelley didn't look like someone who could write Frankenstein...
Min's Monster will make you check your locks and keep the lights on...
Excellent!
What do you think is your Tomanous?
