Review: Dread

Dread Dread by Joy Yehle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book it is definitely a heart pounding page turner that was hard to put down, once the story got going. The author did a great job describing the characters made them seem real and easy to visualize. The descriptive imagery used in the suspenseful parts was well written and the helped move the story along quickly. The only issue I had with this book is at the end, I feel some of the story was left unexplained.

Is there such a fine line between lender and borrower that the kindness of helping someone else financially gets lost and trust goes out the window? When does the borrower decide the money was a gift and not a loan? The lender never told them it was

It's part of who you are. Writing should come to you naturally. If it is something you struggle to do and fight to work at, then maybe writing isn't what you are meant to do. I have been writing since I was twelve. It came to me naturally. I started with children's stories, then in college, I went through some bad emotional stuff, and I poured my heart out onto the paper in the form of poetry. Occasionally over the years, I have dabbled in writing novels, but none were very good, and I never finished any of them. Then several years ago I joined a group called the Brantford Writers' Circle. In this group was a woman who wrote a novel, finished it and self-published it. And I thought "wow" if she can do that then why can't I? I have good ideas too. I can
