Dark Cloud on Naked Creek by Cindy O'Quinn

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Dark Cloud on Naked Creek is a horror/thriller genre/. I was glued to this book straight away and was fascinated by the story and the character Afton, who is the main person in the story. Afton works as a nurse in a men’s prison, but things keep happening to her in her dreams that have to do with folk people and folklore. The story is written beautifully, and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. The story is at a good pace, and this is an intriguing and thoughtful read because I was trying to work out what’s going to happen to Afton and the other characters all the way through the book. I found this to be an entertaining read, and it was lovely to read something entirely different from what I normally read. If you like horror and folklore, this book is different for you. 5 stars. Bio Cindy O’Quinn is an Appalachian writer. She grew up in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. She writes fiction, nonfiction, and speculative poetry, which all lean heavily into the horror genre. It was with Cindy’s fifth Bram Stoker Award® nomination that garnered her a winner of the prestigious award. Her poetry has been nominated for the Elgin, Rhysling, and Dwarf Star awards. 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 🔗 Connect with Cindy Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CindyOQuinnWriter/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cindy.oquinn/ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 🔗 Book Links Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/235627044-dark-cloud-on-naked- creek Purchase Link: https://mybook.to/darkcloud-zbt 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 ♡ 🐾 🔗 Featured Book After a patient under the care of Afton Sullivan, a nurse at a men’s prison, dies under mysterious circumstances, she blames herself for the prisoner’s death.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.
