Black Loon Lake
by
S.L. Coelho (Goodreads Author)
An isolated lake where the mournful loon calls home,
a place you should not wander off on your own.
In the back country where wilderness always comes first,
there are dangers ever anxious to quiet the thirst.
What happens to some is a mystery to most,
but the wild forever will play the host. ©S.L. Coelho

"Black Loon Lake" by S.L. Coelho has done an excellent job of curing me of any desire to ever again go camping! The story is frightening because of the utter helplessness of the victims to defend themselves, both in the book and in real life. The story begins with a young couple returning to their campsite after a day of fishing, only to discover it torn up and both their dogs missing. One dog's collar is still attached to its tether, while the other tether just has a bit of blood and hair on it...more
Tense, layered and engaging - well worth a read.
In this, her debut work for adults, writer S.L. Coelho weaves a rich tapestry of impending threat, action, claustrophobic interpersonal drama, and expansive setting into a highly engaging read.
Everything starts out innocently enough with the main protagonist, Mike, his girlfriend and friend, out planting trees for cash around Black Loon Lake. S.L. Coelho effectively builds the tension in classic disaster movie fashion, letting the reader in on info...more

S. Coelho has outdone herself with this well written exciting thriller that had me captivated from beginning to end. Once I started reading I had trouble putting it down, and was disappointed when it was over. This novel has all the components of a number one best seller.
Grabbed my attention from the first page. I could not put it down until I was done! An engaging read!!!
