The Door

by Craig Wickersham

This is the story of Luci Comburet, a trailer park teen who’s being hunted by a cult of religious fanatics that want to kill her because they think she is half human, half angel…

~~

Luci, whose mother died when she was a baby and never knew her father, is suddenly alone. Her grandmother has passed and she has to live with an uncle she never knew she had. Last night, in her new bedroom, Luci started hearing a strange man's voice. An hour later, she found an ancient relic hidden inside an old dresser. It was a small black door carved with mysterious angels and a two-headed snake. After touching the snake, Luci awakens with the man's voice inside her head, and he's warning her to get away.

Fearful and confused, Luci barely escapes a deadly fire and finds herself on the run from a killer cult that won't stop hunting. The unwanted chase leads her into the world of those who could save her from the cult, but when they come across the door, Luci quickly discovers they have their own agenda.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

Fairly good fantasy about a girl who goes through a door to another world, one which she needs to save. Slim book, but entertaining.

I feel bad giving this book such a low rating due to the fact that I won it in a giveaway. Also because the author wrote an inscription and drew pictures which was very nice of him. However, I truly did not like this book. I really pushed myself to finish it even though it is not that long. The writing was horrid. Too many explanation points, caps, and the parts when Luci was talking out loud to herself were really not needed. It read as if a 12 year old wrote it. A lot of things didn't make sense either which made me feel like parts of this book were not well researched. Overall, I didn't enjoy this book at all. Sorry.

Review to come... Stay tuned!

(I used some of my giveaways as an exercise with my YA book club at my library, where I work. We each blindly chose one of my giveaway titles, have read them, and are currently working on writing our reviews to submit in the very near future... This title was my selection. The signed copy with custom sketch was a pleasant bonus! Spoiler - I LOVED THIS SELECTION!)

I won this book from goodreads giveaways, intending to give it to my granddaughter, but when I received it, I just had to read it first. Glad I did. all the way through I was trying to figure out the secret of the door, but I certainly did not expect what it finally was. I know my granddaughter will love it as much as I did.
