The Clearing by Dan Newman

5 stars Terrifying and suspenseful

This book grabbed me from the very start. I love a book that catches the reader's attention and never lets it go. I read this book until I finished it, and then I was disappointed that it was over. Yes, it's that kind of book. Newman is an incredible storyteller, and telling the tale of Nate Mason, as he is in the present and what happened in the past as the two seemed joined together, is incredible. His band of childhood friends are not the same as they were because of that one fateful moment. Ahh, and they are in paradise, where there's a cure for everything.
