"Mind your manners and do what's right.
This will keep you safe at night.
But if you give yourself to sin,
You will let the Redeemers in.
If God's path is not your goal,
Then the Redeemers will take your soul."

Sound pretty creepy, uh? Well, you have no idea how creepy this story is! Eerily creepy. Horrifyingly creepy. And gosh dang it, LOVED it!

As penance for their sins, marked households must sacrifice one member of their family to the Redeemers. Seven unlucky souls, including sixteen-year old Caitlyn, must accept that they along with the town have no say in the matter. The Redeemers are only fulfilling the Lord's work and they must comply. The town basically shuts down for seven days. No electricity, running water for a few hours a day and the fear that if you are caught out of your house when the fog rolls in, your death is certain. Oh, and they aren't able to leave the town because you will be stopped - and killed. This is a small sacrifice for the many luxuries that the citizens have in their small but very prosperous and peaceful town. As the marked are taken away, it is up to Caitlyn to stop the ancient evil that has plagued the town for centuries. But how can one teenage girl stop the madness? Well you see, Ms. Caitlyn has a pretty awesome weapon in her arsenal and she is determined to kick some serious butt!

Before I even read the synopsis of Fingers in the Mist, I had to read it. Yes, I judge a book by its cover – I admit it, and I am not ashamed. I mean look at this cover. So dark, so creepy and the blood spatters instantly let the reader know that they are about to embark on a truly horrifying experience. Did the story inside the cover meet my high expectations? Boy did it! This eerie and horrifying story had me hooked from the very beginning and it was impossible to put down as the author took me on a journey that tested the limits of my imagination. I really enjoyed the unique blend of horror, paranormal and sci-fi elements in this well-written story that flowed seamlessly and effortlessly. And the ending - well, I did not see it coming at all and can only hope that the next installment of this series comes out soon.

Fingers in the Mist is a definite must read for any fan of horror/paranormal especially someone who loves Stephen King. Give this one a try - you will not regret it!

Fingers in the Mist O'Dell Hutchison 9781939765659 Books Reviews

A super eerie tale of a town living complacently under the blanket of invisible fear.

Caitlyn has a distinct voice, real and tangible. Her past mistakes are upfront from the opening of the story. Her strong will is a nice touch and it bounces nicely off her judgmental stepmother. Her risk-taking quality adds tension and suspense throughout the tale. I'm sure young people will either relate to her verve or secretly wish they had a bit of it for themselves. As far as the opening of the story, what I liked the most is the mystery of Cait feeling as though she's being watched and why it makes her tense to sudden anger. It's obvious to her and the reader that the town is different.

At a few points, the townsfolk seem too accepting of the legend of these Redeemers and living under their threat. But I believe that was a tactic used by the author to rattle the reader. It actually brought me deeper into the story, thinking how I would get out of this if most around me believed it to be true. Like they had no choice.

The story began to feel similar to the film The Village, which made me nervous that it wouldn't be original. Then Caitlyn, three of her old friends, and a baby do something (no spoilers here), which turns the tale into its own. The dynamics of the four former now reacquainted friends, their hardships and pains, longings and regrets goes a long way to carry this tale toward the climax.

Creepy! Towards the climax, I kept getting the image of a Stephen King town--dank darkness, eerie stillness, a controlling force beneath the surface, and figures in the shadows. Very cool. And then a mystery about her mother and family tosses Caitlyn for a loop, adding even more strain and pulling in the guilt from her past mistakes mentioned at the beginning. There's conflict right up until the ending scenes, where she must choose right from wrong, only those lines are so blurred the reader is never quite sure what she'll do.

The only misgiving I can sight is that spells are often mentioned but never really explained or shown. I would have loved a little description or scene showing that.

I'd recommend this story to young adult and adult readers, who have a special love for the creepy, but also for those who like a good mystery.
Very good book
The first of a trilogy. This book left you wanting to start the 2nd book immediately. A really creepy atmosphere and a really good mystery. Friends who must come together to save themselves and the town. Excellent book for adults as well as young adults. A great new author on the scene. Great job O'Dell Hutchison!
