Review - The Visitor by Kevin Bachar

SYNOPSIS -

Sally and her dog, Maureen Bojangles, MoBo for short, make the slog from Brooklyn to the family cabin upstate. It’s a 2-hour drive from the city, but it might as well be another planet. Twenty-four pharmacies and bass-thumping clubs, are replaced by tiny hamlets and shoddy cell phone service. But the remoteness is what Sally needs to write her memoir and reconnect with the painful memories of her abusive father.

A major blizzard has made the journey to the cabin an adventure in itself, and on their trek to her writer’s hideaway, Sally and MoBo notice strange tracks in the snow and mysterious sounds echoing in the surrounding forest. Sally wants to tell her boyfriend not to come up because of the treacherous conditions, but he’s already on his way.

Then The Visitor arrives, and Sally, her boyfriend, and MoBo are in for a night of terror and a battle for survival. Will they be able to withstand the horrors unleashed by The Visitor?

REVIEW -

A woman and her dog in an isolated cabin during a blizzard. What could possibly go wrong? Several things, but an alien species intent on feeding was probably not on the main character's list of potential problems.

The Visitor by Kevin Bachar takes a minute to get rolling, but once it does, we are treated to a cool little creature feature that is action packed and a fun read.

The author takes some time to set up the main character, which, at times, pulls you away from the building tension of the cat and mouse game taking place in the present. Stick with it, though, as the final third of the story is a blast.
