The Ring
It was viewed by over 12,700 people and captured on more than 8,200 cameras, cell phones and video recorders.
The event over Viking Stadion in Stavanger, Norway would go down as one of the largest mass sightings in recorded history, but a sighting of what no one could be sure. There was no UFO. Not really. In fact, there was no actual object, nor was it flying. For most, the event would simply register as a remarkable atmospheric anomaly, the incident fading from memory as quickly as the mysterious and inexplicable skyborne artifact that had created it.
Then it happened again.
For 15-year old Eva Morris of Phoenix, Arizona, the "ring" provided a welcome diversion from the recent and tragic abduction of 10-year old Rory Bastione, a close friend from Eva's Copper Creek Estates community. But as reports of casualties from the site of the Norway ring hit the news cycle days later, Eva can't help but feel that time is of the essence to locate the missing girl in a way she can't yet comprehend. Driven by a secret motivation to find Rory at all costs, Eva's quest leads her into a nightmare from which there is no waking. A place where fear and survival converge, the horror made all the more sinister by the presence of the ring.

****************
Descend into my latest, with The Staircase .
Owen is on the heels of a devastating breakup, but his misery is diverted when his adventurer friend, Steve, shows up at his door with intriguing news–he’s found something inexplicable in the heart of the forest: A staircase. Buried deep in the ground, and miles from anywhere, it is absent any barriers, fences, doors, gates, or signs warning people to keep out. Nothing, it seems, can explain its purpose. But it has one, and Owen will soon learn the terrifying truth of it.

/I won this book from the first reads/
It took me some time to get down to read this one... but once i've started i just couldn't put it down! The story is complex, yet easy to follow. It is dynamic and doesn't bore a reader even for one moment. And than the ending: first surprising, than at some part - happy-end, at the other - more 'realistic' luck of final solution. I wish someone made a film out of this one, but i am afraid it may be hard thing to do without simplifying it too much!
