Book Description

WISHBONE ...Be Careful What You WISH For
(Part 1 - Screen Adaptation Edition)

A Manhattan power couple survive a tragedy and attempt a fresh start only to be plagued by unexplained and disastrous occurrences...be careful what you wish for.

At the age of nine, growing up in the French countryside, Julien Grenier witnessed the brutal murder of his grandfather. Now, at forty-five, he continues to be plagued by horrific nightmares and reenactments of that tragic event.
Living a successful though austere lifestyle on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Julien has recreated himself, building emotional walls that even his young wife cannot penetrate.
Though somewhat moody, Julien is a good man with a heart of gold, and a great sense of loyalty and responsibility; enabling his wife, Rachael, to turn a blind eye to his tightly-kept secrets.
Rachael is thirty-two years old; an art dealer and playful free spirit, but after a home invasion assault leaves her emotionally unstable and destroys their care-free and content world, they relocate to a safer environment with the hope of a fresh start.
Kings Hollow is a quaint town, nestled in the serene Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. At first, their new home appears to be the miracle they prayed for, until a traditional children's game begins to destroy their bliss; Rachael is no longer herself and Julien is experiencing a string of bad luck and unfortunate accidents.
At the center of it all is seventeen-year-old Sarah, a part-time caretaker on the property.
Can Julien and Rachael escape the nightmare of Kings Hollow...or is this just Wishful thinking?

WISHBONE is a multi-layered suspense-thriller incorporating several sub-plots; in the vein of THE SIXTH SENSE, SHUTTER ISLAND and THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. Mature, mind-bending Horror at its best, Brooklyn Hudson takes you on a roller coaster of emotional turmoil and shocking events. ~JJ Kohler

5.0 out of 5 stars It Only Takes One Wish February 22, 2012
By TV PI
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I honestly didn't know what to expect when I received an advance copy of Wishbone. Generally, I'm not an avid reader of supernatural thrillers, however Ms. Hudson's engaging tale quickly grabbed me and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

The story centers around a NY couple who flee the city after a series of tragic events negatively impact their lives.
Julien and Rachael believe they have found serenity in a tranquil upstate town called Kings Hollow. The clean country living seems ideal at first, until the couple innocently enough crack a wishbone over a quite dinner.

I don't want to give away a single plot detail and spoil any of the fun or surprises, but what follows next is a psychological thriller, filled with mystery and suspense that will keep you guessing until the very last page, and still leave you wanting more!

Ms. Hudson takes a simple idea of making a wish and guides the reader down a twisted path where our wildest nightmares come true, and we learn it may not be so easy to live with what we wish for!

The story is engaging enough that often times I found myself yelling out loud at plot twists and character choices. This novel rivals any tale of suspense I've read within the last few years and I can easily see this transferring from the page to the screen in the very near future! It's just that good!

If you've been wishing for a truly superb thriller, your wish has just come true!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wishbone March 14, 2012
By Cindy
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Where do i start? To begin with i was never really into thriller's as far as reading goes. Alot of time's if the first page doesnt grab me, i dont bother. Well reading Wishbone from the first page, i wanted to know more about Julien. And with each page i was hooked. Never knowing where the story was going to have that next twist or turn, and what the out come would be. It left me wanting more! The funny thing is Wishbone had me talking out loud, and responding to what just happened. At the end of this story, your still on pin's and needle's. I was blown away by the very end. Like Brooklyn said, "Be careful of what you wish for". Thank you Brooklyn for writing such an edge of your seat, want more story. Can't wait to read Wishbone 2. Brooklyn Hudson has a fan for life! Seriously excellent!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love Shutter Island ... February 23, 2012
By J. Burt
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
then you have to read this!! This is one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read. I could not wait to see how it would end but I also did not ever want it to end. Saying goodbye to this book and these characters at the end was truly bittersweet. This is the kind of read where you actually get angry at the fictional characters because they just seem too damn real!!! So many twists and turns you'll never guess all of them but that's the true fun in reading a book like this.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Would be a good movie.
I liked that the story was new and original. Sometimes the characters didn't use a lot of common sense. It reads like a movie rather than a deep mystery.
