I wanted to share a collection of reviews that The Banishing were given after publication, and I wanted to thank those that took the time to read my debut publication, because new authors can only thrive with the support of others.

MY BOOK ADDICT: Verdict on The Banishing

“Never in my life have I been so scared after reading a book, but The Banishing has scared the hell out of me. This story just unfolds itself and you live through everything the main character lives through.

The story Fiona created really pulled me in and even now as I’m writing this review the chills are still running down my spine.

Amazing debut, if this predicts anything about the books Fiona will write in the future then I can’t imagine she won’t be a bestselling author. An amazing and chilling book you don’t want to read after dark!“

5/5

DONNA’S BOOK REVIEWS: Verdict on The Banishing

“I was a little unsure when I first started this book,  but seriously no more than 10 pages in I was hooked.

What starts as a mystery story of why Melissa’s husband is changing quickly turns into a suspenseful tale of horror. You are right there with Melissa as she figures out what is going on. The story is set at a good pace, it doesn’t lag or go too fast.

The book comes to quite a surprising conclusion… I have to admit it was completely unexpected.

If you are looking for a good horror novel, this is one you should pick up. Fiona is a writer to watch for… I fully expect to see more from her in the future and I am looking forward to it.”

I HEART READING BOOK REVIEWS: Verdict on The Banishing

4/5 Stars

The Banishing tells a dark and twisted tale, that will probably reminds its readers of the classics in the horror genre. Fiona Dodwell’s story is varied, frightening and interesting. The tension builds up slowly and gradually, but never fails for one single moment during the entire reading experience. The writting is excellent, the storyline full of unexpected twists and turns. The ending is nothing if not brilliant, and it will leave you thinking about this novel for a long time after reading it. If you enjoy horror, especially the classic horror involving ghosts and demons, then The Banishing is an excellent choice.”
