Riapoke – Bryan Nowak

(Reviewed by Jeyran Main)

When a mother and son take a trip to Riapoke, they ignore any suspicious and unusual things they see or hear. Little do they know their lives are in danger. Serial killing is a norm in Riapoke and the son, Kyle has to work with his mother to save themselves and get out of this mess.

The physical setting is extracted with details and described in such a way that you can easily imagine the scenes. Without a successful build-up of the town, it would not be as good as a story as it is. I believe the author succeeds in creating a very suspenseful and creative world where paranormal activities engage in producing this thriller novel.

I also enjoyed the dynamic between the mother and son. A small vacation before Kyle heading off to university became something way more than they anticipated. A vacation they will never forget, I am sure.

The character development is good enough to make them relatable. The pace is steady and there is an easy flow of what appears to be the build- up to the ending.

I look forward to reading more from this author and recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading well-written thrillers.
