The Visions of Sandy Brown by Donald WhiteMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An intense dark tale of hatred and friendship.
Sandy Brown is a typical teenage girl. She likes doing 'girly' things with her friends and hopes that a boy she likes will ask her to a school dance. Then she meets Holder...
The Visions of Sandy Brown is a seemingly light-hearted high school story on the surface; however underneath you discover a dark, twisted entity playing evil chess with human minds with the only one purpose: to take his revenge on those not worthy.
Donald White is a great narrator. The story flows smoothly, Sandy and those around her are likable characters and you can easily empathize with them. Holder, on the other side, is a hateful, revenge-seeking being, emanating the danger with every word.
I particularly appreciated the attention given to Sandy's relationship with her parents; though not always understanding each other, the love between them was truly tangible and perceivable. So was its link to Sandy's confidence and mental strength when it mattered.
In conclusion, if you want an intense dark tale to read during your summer (or any) break, pick this one!
