The Banishing gets reviewed at the "Authors By Authors" website….
"A real page turner… the author kept turning things up a notch in a very dark, paranormal way right to the final pages." – Authors by Authors review on The Banishing
Fantastic website, Authors By Authors, that features interviews and book reviews, has taken the time to read and review The Banishing. Here is what they said:
"The first chapter of this horror novel evoked all sorts of emotions inside me, a whole spectrum of good to bad, but mostly, above all of them, I felt compassion for the heroine. The story immediately drew me in and had me anxiously waiting to read Chapter Two.
Ms. Dodwell is very good at building suspense, giving away only little hints to keep the reader wanting more. With the subject matter as sensitive as it was, the story kept you tied up in knots, never quite being sure, other than with the heroine, who you were mad at or rooting for, etc. The main plot carried many twists, and the author kept turning things up a notch in a very dark, paranormal way right to the final pages.
A real page turner with deep set emotions, ones that were so profound that they almost became the setting of the story, an entity in and of themselves.
I definitely kept reading, wanting to know what was going on, and to see an end to the heroine's suffering. Let me laugh here, because this was a true horror story, and in the end, what one gets is a partial HEA ending, partial Horror ending – a halving – which is fantastic if you are into such dark reads.
