edit data

Michael Evanichko began to write at a very young age. Inspired by the early works of Stephen King and the schlocky horror and suspense books of the eighties, he attempted his first novel at age twelve. It wasn't until much later in life that he actually completed his first novel, Life in a Supermarket Basket. Life in a Savage Landfill, and Life in a Neon Knapsack soon followed, and his "Trilogy of Life" was completed. Each novel is connected by a character and is unique in its tone and story. Terrific, Fantastic, Amazing, and Compelling are actual words used to describe Michael's books and he didn't pay anyone for those reviews! He is extremely grateful for the love and support received over the years. ...more

Entertaining thriller told in nonlinear form with a retro vibe. Nods to classic horror films like Halloween. A babysitter fighting for the lives of her entrusted children.

Great thriller. Drawn into the family dynamics. Three siblings, a missing mother, and a comatose father. Throw in some shady gangs in the backdrop and you have an edge of your seat story of secrets, lies, and cremation.

Respectable entry in the series. Story was decent enough, but I found myself disinterested at times. Hard to focus. Perhaps it did not feel fresh enough-somewhat redundant. And the outcome was known. But I liked the expansion of characters who would ...more

Tension right out of the port that never lets up. Every chapter is sprinkled with discomfort and mystery with twists surfacing until the last page. Looking forward to reading more from Ruth Ware.
