Looking to reconnect their estranged marriage, John and Kara Price act upon a spontaneous plan to take an “unplugged” vacation, renting a remote house deep in the wooded landscape of the southern Adirondacks. With their two children in tow, the Price family begin their outing with optimism and without worry but will soon learn another plan has been set in motion; an unexpected and nefarious plot against them, that is slowly coming to light.

Joseph Falank sure knows how to write a tense suspenseful story packed into a quick read! His new novella “Disconnected” had me turning the pages rapidly to see how the terrifying situation presented in the novella would resolve itself. Without spoilers, I will say that as a protective father and husband, the conflict in this slim book got my teeth gritting and my brow furrowed. Well done!
File this under: something I didn’t expect. This book had me shedding tears, holding my breath, and scooping my sleeping children up and into bed with me.
