The FACES

Rate this book
Sometimes facing your fears is the worst thing you can do...

"I loved this book, athough it did give me nightmares!"
"Addictive writing. The story grows and grows until you think you'll explode..."

Have you ever stared at a pattern and seen a face?
Well, be warned...
Carys Ellis, recently released from a secure mental health unit, saw faces in her hotel room. She swears they moved and attacked her.
Soon, she learns that worse than not being believed, is being believed all too readily. It seems she's not the only one seeing faces emerge from the walls. And the others aren't so lucky...

Carys teams up with a sympathetic policeman, a sociopathic federal agent, and her hybrid son, Ebe.
Under strict orders to leave things alone, they must secretly uncover why people are dying increasingly horrific deaths. Humanity's survival may depend upon it...

The FACESis the third installment of Carter's best selling The HUM series.
Like the previous tales, it asks questions about what is real, and what could already be happening, whilst eerily tying it to current events.

"I can't wait for more..."

I grew up in the Home Counties of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. I always felt I wanted to be somewhere else and dreamed of sunny beaches and shady woods. I imagined a move abroad would be the answer but when I visited Pembrokeshire to visit my then fiance's family, I succumbed to the 'Pembrokeshire Pull' and have lived in the National Park ever since.
I have always wanted to be a writer and flirted with the idea, buying a word processor and beginning a number of manuscripts, with very little idea how to actually write a book. When I turned forty something polarised within me, or I just stumbled upon the right advice, and I found the whole thing immensely enjoyable. In fact, I would say I'm only truly happy when I'm writing (I have just completed my fourth book since beginning writing mid-way through 2013!)
Prior to writing I was a dreaded double glazing salesman. I ended up running my own conservatory design and build company for a number of years before the ill-health of a family member meant moving away from the industry.
Opportunities can be found in adversity. It began with studying Welsh language and then Psychology. Then I found my confidence in my own life experiences to know I had plenty to give as an author. I am now able to focus on my writing where the long working hours of my past life never would have allowed.
I live and write in South-West Wales, with my wife, four children and dog!

Don't move to Wales.

Wales is being struck by a wave of odd deaths that are gross and seemingly random. Ebe and his mother, now free of Marco, if not the creatures that controlled him, are stuck in the middle. The hum still fills them both with terror and while they meet new allies, it seems pretty bleak and like the aliens are winning no matter what. This book ties in the Beast of Benfro series, much to my delight. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Well this blew me away , a bigger horror element than the previous two as we return to Pembrokeshire .. I love the way the author uses his local knowledge to maximise the development of his story seeing local places like the hospital and even Greenacres the animal rescue sanctuary included had me feeling I was there with the characters as events unfold … and the events are scary , even a tad gnarly for some poor individuals ,I loved it it’s rare I’m enjoying a world so much I don’t want the end of the book to come but this is what happened .. even rarer to make the effort to review but others need to to read these I can’t recommend enough !
