Couldn't put it down!

[Frances Evelyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't usually read horror. I find it irritating when people go into the forest at night or knock on the door of the abandoned castle or whatever, because you just wouldn't, would you? If you thought something weird was going on, you'd get the hell out of there or call for help.

So what I enjoyed about this book was that the characters' motivations made sense. They have reasons to do and say and believe the things they do, or to doubt or keep quiet or keep away. The setting was realistic, the dialogue was convincing and the emotions were real. In the midst of that, the unexplained occurrences were properly unsettling. I won't say what was behind it, because I don't want to spoil it, but, heck! It shouldn't be scary, once you know what it is, but my toes are still curling.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just don't read it when you're on your own in the house.

A good horror story starts out with the mundane and slowly adds elements turning the everyday into something no rational person would want to be involved with. Terry Kerr’s book ‘Angie Baby’ does that. The horror element may be something from the real world, perhaps as “normal” as psychopath stalking the protagonist or being trapped underground. It can also be something paranormal or supernatural. Terry Kerr goes for the second of those in ‘Angie Baby’. In a well-written horror novel there is always a way to deal with the problem. For one reason or another it may fail, but at least a chance of success is vital. Again, ‘Angie Baby’, albeit with some twists, has the possibility of dealing with the threat. Does it work? Read ‘Angie Baby’ by Terry Kerr and find out for yourself. If you like a good horror novel, you’ll be glad you did.

What’s Love Got to Do with It?

A diehard fan of Terry Kerr’s works of psychological horror, ‘Angie Baby’ shivered me timbers. He effectively leads the reader by the nose from beginning to end, inch by inch, and step by step with plenty of jolts and bursts of humor along the way. He has a way with words, enabling the reader to see what makes his characters tick: clever dialogue, snatches of backstory, introspection, and foreshadowing. His way with words enables the reader to feel what Hayley, Graham, Elaine, and Lillian are going through: confusion, fear, despair, desperation, vulnerability—and, even hope.

Of utmost importance, the author effortlessly overlaps the corporeal world of a terraced apartment at Crouch End in North London, and the incorporeal realm, every bit as real as a teapot in the sky, should one appear.

So, what’s love got to do with it? Read ‘Angie Baby’ to find out. I highly recommend that you do.

This is my first time reading a thriller and also my first time reading this author, and I loved this book! The characters were relatable. The plot was realistic. The supernatural was not what I expected it to be because it twisted and turned and kept me guessing, and that's a good thing. There were a few moments that I laughed out loud, and very loudly, and that was unforeseen. There were several moments that shocked me, my mouth wide open, picking my jaw up off the floor. And all the rest of the moments, I was on the edge of my seat, anticipating what would happen next. This story kept me highly engaged and continuously turning the page. Two thumbs up!
