My Review
Imagine being in two places at once; as a parent of young children, I can appreciate the appeal, however, this suspense filled surreal fiction centered around domestic family life flips the script on that notion to deliver a truly engrossing tale where nothing is quite as it seems.
Comprising elements of sci-fi and horror, drama, The Need has a little something for everyone. Primarily centered around Molly and her two young children, the story is complimented by a series of strange happenings at a local dig-site where Molly works; a number of odd artifacts are unearthed and before long the site becomes a popular draw-card for the tourist industry. Unfortunately for Molly, the increase in attention spawns an unimaginable horror.
The Need is pitch perfect for parents; that inbuilt primal desire to protect your children at all costs is exploited in devastatingly good fashion. The story is sure to pull at parent's heartstrings from the opening pages and throughout as it steadily evolves into something completely unexpected yet scarily satisfying.
My rating:4/5 stars.
The Need is scheduled to be published 16 July 2019. Read more about this book and others from the publishers website.
