Terrifying things don’t always mean having horrific sightings or hearing frightening, screeching sounds. Sometimes, horror can show up as something harmless–until you get close enough to see that it’s actually capable of harm. Strange things happen all the time as phenomena we cannot always process. No one knows this better than those living in one unsuspecting Los Angeles community.
In Walls: The Beginning, author SF Covell, places readers directly into the action as a shift of energy occurs and a sense of dread overcomes the neighborhoods of California. Tall walls have appeared at each quadrant, surrounding some areas, and preventing individuals from leaving. No one knows where they came from, why they are there, or when they will disappear, but it adds a level of eerie vibes to the surrounding areas. Within Covell’s book, there are criminals and troublemakers looking to make the lives of others difficult. Covell’s novel gives readers both villians and heroes that reinforce the idea that standing divided never works, but by standing united, they will be able to protect one another.
Author SF Covell has written an highly enjoyable page-turner that hooks you from page one and keeps you intrigued throughout, making this a book that is difficult to put down. The eerie feeling I got from reading this book made me feel like I was reading a horror novel based on real life, as it talks about the possibility of aliens and God’s judgment upon us. These strange walls have caused interference in the lives of everyone affected by them. Covell has done a phenomenal job of demonstrating how important community strength can be if everyone works together instead of against one another. It was interesting to see how people’s true colors come out when a disaster strikes. Covell does a great job with character development as each person is different and has their own personality. The vivid descriptions in the story made me feel as though I were standing alongside Covell’s cast of characters experiencing this terrifying event for myself.
I highly recommend Walls: The Beginning, by SF Covell, to anyone looking for an attention-grabbing read that provides you with a fascinating storyline packed with well-developed characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Rating:5/5
Review:
👉"Walls: The Beginning" by SF Covell is a gripping novel that seamlessly merges elements of horror and real-life issues, resulting in a captivating and thought-provoking read. The story introduces us to an unsuspecting Los Angeles community that is suddenly thrust into a world of mystery and dread. The narrative skillfully explores the notion that terror doesn't always manifest through overtly horrific events, but can be found in seemingly harmless occurrences with hidden potential for harm.
👉The novel's premise centers around the appearance of tall walls that mysteriously encircle different quadrants of the community, effectively trapping its residents within. SF Covell masterfully immerses readers into the heart of the action as a shift in energy envelops the neighborhoods, leaving behind an unsettling atmosphere. The lack of understanding regarding the walls' origin, purpose, and duration adds a layer of eerie tension to the narrative, giving it an air of authenticity that resembles a horror story grounded in reality.
👉Covell's character development shines as the story unfolds. With a diverse cast of characters, each with their own distinct personality, the author deftly showcases how individuals react when confronted with disaster. There's a genuine exploration of humanity's response to crisis, revealing both the heroic and villainous aspects that emerge. This exploration is woven into the overarching theme of unity and community strength. Through the characters' journeys, Covell underscores the idea that division is ineffective in times of crisis, while unity has the power to protect and uplift.
👉The writing style of "Walls: The Beginning" is highly engaging, hooking readers from the very first page and keeping them intrigued throughout. Covell's vivid descriptions evoke a sense of presence, allowing readers to stand alongside the characters and experience the unsettling events firsthand.

In the wake of total confusion and crisis, the story closely examines the behavior of a random L.A. neighborhood found trapped within the confines of the “Walls.” Described as a twilight zone-like sci-fi, it boasts a diverse cast of characters which includes a strong FMC that is central and pivotal to an unfolding series of events. The reader is immediately ushered into a scenario that is eerily frightening and becomes even more dire as the story progresses.
This is the first in a 3 book series by S.F. Covell. Riddled with witty banter and dialogue, I was surprise to see a close-proximity romance developing. All the action and suspense is dispensed in the latter half and the survival trope somewhat echos The Walking Dead, but instead of zombies it’s something otherworldly. The revelation about the wall at the end did stumped me and I liked that it kept me guessing the entire time through. It’s a dark and decent read overall and on that note I will continue with the other 2 from this author. Simply because I need to know the rest!
