“In a single week in the summer of 1973, a quiet suburban neighborhood implodes when generations of mystical deceit become too much to bear. Drawn to the web of secrets and lies, the other worldly slivers refuse to be ignored, pushing one family to the brink.”

Another good read from a fellow blogger! I’m so impressed with the talent in my small WP circle. “Slivers” is the second book written by Vicki Atkinson and her first fiction novel. I loved her first book “Surviving Sue” which documents her life as a survivor with her mother who was an alcoholic, had Alzheimers, anxiety, depression and Munchausen’s. Vicki not only survived, she championed her disabled sister while becoming a licensed professional counselor with a doctorate in Adult Education and degrees in Psychology.

I’ve been reading reviews and snippets of “Slivers” on Vicki’s blog VictoriaPonders and I couldn’t wait to get my copy.

The supernatural elements of “Slivers” are based on Scottish lore of creatures with a hive mind. I knew the book was going to be spooky but it surprised me with twists and turns. The characterrs were well developed and Vicki did an amazing job with the kids. They seemed real with distinct personalities and voices.

I’m not going into more detail, but encourage you to read it.

This is the third book by bloggers that I’ve read in a few weeks. I wrote reviews of Eve Marie’s “Quest for Absence” and P.J. Gudka’s “Perfect” HERE. Eve’s blog is Cupcakecacheblog and Pooja’s is Lifesfinewhine.

I highly recommend all three books. They are better than anything I’ve read lately!
