Title: The Return
Author: Rachel
Harrison
Synopsis: “An edgy and haunting debut novel about a group
of friends who reunite after one of them has returned from a mysterious
two-year disappearance.
“Julie is
missing, and the missing don’t often return.
But Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and she feels in her bones
that her best friend is out there, and that one day she’ll come back. She’s right.
Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no
memory of where she’s been or what happened to her.”
Review: I made the
mistake of starting The Return at bedtime one night. I like to read before bed to help me relax and
push aside any worries of the day. So,
at 10pm (Ok, it was probably 9:30; I love bedtime.) I moisturized, grabbed a
cat and my book, and climbed under the covers.
Next thing I knew it was 2am and I had read the whole book. I was so frightened after I finished that I
had to sleep with the lights on.
Reading The Return was like driving by an accident. Even though you kind of
know what happened, and you know it’s going to be bad, you can’t help
looking. I had sort of figured out
basically what was going on, but the main characters had no idea, and I couldn’t
help speeding through the pages to find out what they were going to do. I
highly recommend The Return to fans of horror and the supernatural.
