Frostwalker by Brandon Luffman

Did you just glance at the cover and think, yeah a little spooky, feeling like the trees could reach out and touch you, but the deer is not afraid. The deer is………..

For five nights in a row, Jake had seen the light, felt it calling him.

Tonight, he crossed into the forest.

It had called him and he was determined to solve the mystery.

I knew something was coming just from the eerie cover. That was no bullet hole in that thar deer. And Dan. Poor Dan. That is when I was drawn in so deep, I had to know – what in the hell happened to him in the woods? I knew it was something bad just by the description of the gruesome, bloody and savage attack.  Brandon Luffman did an excellent job of creating a feeling of impending doom in this horror novel of the creepiest kind.

There is an isidiuous evil worming its way through the people in town.

Have you ever approached something and balked at going through with it? A sense of something, intuition (?), saying it wasn’t right, that something was very wrong? That’s how Jake felt when he would approach the woods. His foot would not cross that barrier.

When the shit hit the fan, it did it with a vengeance. Every opening door, every creak of the floor, I thought something was going to jump out at me.

Jake and Eric are best friends. They are just regular Joes, nothing special about them. The evil they face will prove the lengths they will go to for each other.

I liked Nancy right off the bat. A no nonsense, do what must be done kind of gal. There wasn’t no monster gonna scare her away. She was strong and not a screamer. I hate those horror movies where all the women can do is cry and scream. Wendy is one of them. Will she step up when the time comes? Or Regina?

John Birdsong is a Shaman. He is Tsalagi, now known as the Cherokee. He is Frostwalker. As soon as John and his grandmother entered the story, I liked where it was heading even more, a twist that would make the story even deeper.  I like the spiritual elements of the Native Indians sprinkled into the story.

The Grandmother is the the storyteller. The story she has to tell is almost beyond belief.

I always wonder how I would perform in such situations. I guess that means this is a good story, because it actually had me asking myself – what would I do?

Brandon did an excellent job in creating a tremendous amount of tension through anticipation. I knew it was coming, but he strung me out for so long, I couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when we finally got there. And it wasn’t where I thought I was going. Great ending!

4 Stars – Would Highly Recommend To Others

“Sounds like something’s gone bad wrong.”  Boy was that an understatement.

‘I know I’m going to sound crazy, but they’re not just plain people any more, Sheriff.”

I received Frostwalker from Brandon Luffman in return for an honest and unbiased review.
