Night Is Falling

by Amanda M. Lyons

Bobby Gene is a man who stands out even among his people. Guided by the knowledge of his heritage as a backwoods shaman and more perceptive than many, he's grown to be a valuable asset to those he knows.

While he isn't surprised to be the first to know when the woods around him begin to show clues that something isn't right, he doesn't expect just how much these omens and signs will prove to foretell something far more sinister to come. Soon strange dreams and inexplicable encounters have him questioning everything he knows--and then the people who live in his woodland Appalachian community begin to disappear.

It's his job to protect and guide the others. What will he do when he's the only thing between them and the end of life as they know it?

[Rhonda Graser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book resonated with me. The Appalachian folklore was used perfectly and respectfully. The writing is vivid and I imagined myself in beautiful forests quite a bit throughout! Besides being beautiful, its also delightfully creepy. I would give ten stars if it were available!

Something’s living in the Appalachian wilderness, and it’s losing patience. Bobby Gene will have to use all he’s learned as a shaman to take it on before it destroys everything he calls home.

Spooky and atmospheric, I couldn’t guess what would come next.

I loved the way the main character was written. As an outcast who’s lived in the woods his entire life, he’s relatable, and I found it easy to root for him.
