Lost in the Bayou
People disappear in the bayou. And that’s exactly what fourteen-year-old Robin Sherwood needs to do — before her Uncle Conrad snips her toes off with his rusty garden nippers.
When her parents’ private plane disappears in the Voodoo Swamp, Robin’s uncle moves into the multi-million dollar Sherwood Estate as her guardian. It doesn’t take Robin long to figure out there’s something not quite right about Uncle Conrad — besides having a metal claw where his left hand used to be.
Weird changes to crazy when he explains the bizarre game he has planned — a game that will leave Robin dead and Uncle Conrad the sole heir to the Sherwood fortune. In order to escape his devious plan and its deadly consequences, the bayou may be Robin’s only chance. It’s a risky choice, but becoming alligator bait seems a lot less terrifying right now than what’s waiting for her in the cellar.

If Mark Twain and Stephen King had a love child - the result would be Cornell Deville. Lost in the Bayou is a terrific and terrifying romp through nostalgia and mayham. Bravo! I await more reads from this clever-minded author.

Title: Lost In the Bayou
Author: Cornell Deville
Published by: Musa Publishing
Genre: YA Thriller
Review Rating: 4 stars, Recommended read.
Cornell Devill has written an amazing YA Suspense/Thriller novel, his writing is engaging and the character descriptions where written so well that I could picture what the crazy Uncle Conrad looked like vividly in my head. Cornell’s words flowed easily and I just kept turning the pages and before I knew it the book was over. You can see from his writing that he is a very talented author and I would read any of his other books.
Lost in the Bayou is a story of brother and sister who find out their parents are missing after their plane crashed. The search and rescue for their parents has been called off and now are presumed dead. The only living relative is their Uncle Conrad, during their first dinner together they realize that their uncle is crazy and is only there for their parent’s money. He seems to relate everything he says and does to the radio show the Lone Ranger. Uncle Conrad tells the children that he is only there to get what he rightfully deserves and that they are in his way. His plan is to kill the children so he will have everything to himself. He informs them that in the morning they will play a game and that if he catches them he will kill them. Coming up with an escape plan is there next step. They decide the best place to hide is deep inside the Bayou where dangers lurk all around them, but they both agree they will feel safer around the alligators then their crazy uncle.
Lost in the Bayou is written for a younger audience, the main character Robin is a 14 year girl trying to protect and take care of her 11 year old brother Andy. Cornell Devill has written both of these children in an age appropriate manner and his younger audience will connect with these two characters well. In saying that I believe even adults who read YA suspense/thriller novels would definitely enjoy Lost in the Bayou and I would definitely recommend this book to any of my friends.

1 1/2 - 2 Stars using Goodreads system
The final two words of this book are 'At last' and all I could think was 'Thank God, at last it is over'. I stuck with this book because a few authors rated it a 5 - Amazing. Well, clearly, I am not an author, but just an average Joe-ette looking for a good book.
I learned a lesson. I will not read a book because a couple authors give it a good rating. Nor will I read a book that 50 pals voted onto a must read list. In looking, these authors are friends and I am sure kick each other a 5 rating out of comradery. What is discouraging is that average readers go by these ratings and spend their hard earned cash to buy and read the recommended. I was duped and my money wasted. On a book that made no sense, contained zombies and the lone ranger.
'You savvy'? I am now. I won't fall for the 5 rating by cohorts again any time soon.
I am just flabbergasted. I am moving on and chalking this experience up to my own idiocy.

It's been a while since I read a book this creepy. As a massive Stephen King fan I really do love books on the creepy side, books that can literally freak you out. This book did just that, so I was very happy :).
The story is about two younger children, mainly the older girl. She is 14 and her little brother is 11. They come from a very wealthy family, and all is well and wonderful until their parents go on a ride in their private helicopter and never come home. While the parents are missing, their only relative, their dad's brother comes to watch over them. They had no idea what to expect, since the older sister, Robin, hadn't see him since she was two and her brother Andy had never even met him. Their uncle brought with him a whole giant heap of creepy and crazy! After making a few pretty awkward and scary comments he straight out tells them he is going to kill them. He wants his brother's money and they are in the way of him getting it and he plans to rectify that. Heck, while we're already in crazy town, let's move on up to insane city and make a game out of it! He tells them they'll play hide and seek. As long as they can hide they'll live, but once he finds them...they're dead.
Based on how off his rocker their uncle Conrad seems, they believe he means it without a shadow of a doubt. Not knowing what else to do they decide to take off and hide in the bayou beside them. What follows after that was a shocking surprise, a little trip into the paranormal, and definitely creepy. The book gave me goosebumps and had me turning the pages as fast as I could, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. If you love a good creepy, adventurous, dark read, you are sure to love this book!
Robin is definitely a girl to be admired, at her young age, left parent-less and scared, she takes on full responsibility of her younger brother and braves situations that I couldn't even dream of entering. She has no short supply of bravery or gusto. She is prepared to do what she must to protect her family and take Uncle Conrad down in the meantime if she must! Another thing I found great about this book is that it doesn't seem aimed at girls at all. Maybe I'm wrong in saying so, but it seems to me that most YA is aimed at the female population. That's not the case in this story at all, it doesn't really seem to be aimed at either. And even though it's a little dark and creepy, I think the non-faint-hearted kids could enjoy this story as well.
It was a great read, it really pulled me in, had me spooked and anxious and biting my nails. Definitely worth picking it up to read it :). Especially if you love some creepy adrenaline!

I don't understand the problem with downloading this book from the Musa site to a Nook. I purchased a copy of Lost In The Bayou from Musa Publishing, downloaded it to my Nook Color through Calibre, and read it through without finding any formatting problems.
Now to the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this suspenseful tale. Conrad is such a dispicable villain, he's just the kind I love to hate. And I couldn't help but champion the valiant efforts of the MC - she's one spunky little girl.
But my pleasure in the story went beyond the superb writing and the intricasies of the plot. The minor characters were so quirky and fun that, although their roles were very small, their personalities make them almost as memorable as Conrad. Mrs. Deffenbaugh and Warner became as real as my neighbors.
Kudos to Mr. Deville on this creepy trip through the bayous.

I'd heard a lot about this YA mystery/thriller and finally got to it on my TBR Kindle list. Well, I was not disappointed and ended up enjoying it a heck of a lot more than I even expected to! Uncle Conrad is the best villain to come down the pike in forever! I'd love to see him get his own book series in fact. This is a wonderful, thrilling, fast paced read and one that I recommend for sure to a YA/middle grade reader but kids of all ages will enjoy it. The bayou setting lends an air of mystery and danger as well! But watch out for Uncle Conrad.

Robin and Andy are home alone with servants; their parents have disappeared. Child Protective Services says they need a responsible adult to care for them and they have asked their Uncle Conrad to come stay with them. Not only has Robin not seen him since she was two, when he arrives he has an iron claw instead of his left hand. She doesn’t know it yet, but that’s not the only thing scary about him.
This is a psychological thriller that will keep readers glued to their chair. This author does a good job of scaring the reader with suggestive conversations and threats to the children. He makes Uncle Conrad rabid enough and angry enough to be a real danger. The children have grown up in a loving family, are close with each other and the servants, and have no idea how to respond to their new caregiver.
Mr. Deville is very good at drawing out your own fears by threatening his characters with everything from torn out fingernails to death. Just like the children, you can’t be sure if Uncle Conrad means it or is just crazy. Or maybe he’s crazy and he does mean it. But given such an ultimatum as: "I’m going to kill you unless you kill me first", what would you do?
This story has good tension, a very interesting plot line and ends with a dramatic finish. You don’t know who is going to win until the last few pages. The author managed to increase my heart rate, scare me with the creatures and people of the bayou, and kept my attention to the end. It’s an exciting read with more than one “monster” involved. Could you do what these children did?
Young readers will enjoy the action; older readers will enjoy the psychological games. There is even a touch of zombies. Do I have you intrigued yet?

Update as of 1-12-2011. I was contacted by Musa Publishing's customer service department and they furnished me with a correctly formatted version of the book. Plus they gave me the option of downloading another title on them. Because of this outstanding customer service, I'm bumping this book back to five stars. Please disregard all my ranting about how the Nook version is bad as they are correcting this.
I would have given this book five stars, but I'm docking it one star because the formatting for the color Nook (the ereader I use) was terrible. There were repeated pages, passages omitted, and places where I had to drag the slider forward and then backtrack in order to get past them. I don't experience any of these problems with any other ebook that I have on my Nook (I'm reading Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, a book by R.A. Salvatore, and have read other books before this put out by small presses on my Nook without any problems).
But as for the story...Mr. DeVille has written a fabulous thriller. I read this in three short days and despite my frustrations with the Nook version, I kept at it because I wanted to know what would happen with the villain of the story, Uncle Conrad.
I'm not going to spoil anything. I'm just going to tell you that this book is great. I love the setting...it reminds me of the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". The whole Cajun atmosphere, the Louisiana Bayou, and the ambience of the voodoo swamp is alive and well in Mr. DeVille's writing.
I can even taste the bacon and biscuit sandwiches as if I were biting into them.
Just don't get this on the Nook. Maybe the publisher spends more time formatting things for the Kindle.

Yes, I do have to admit that this book was a page turner. It was able to keep up the pacing from the beginning to end. I enjoyed the main characters Robin and Andy, kids that have lost their parents due to a plane crash, just beyond their mansion of a house and now under the supervision of an evil Uncle.
There were two things in the book that had me very confused, but did not deter me from really enjoying the story. They both take place during the children's travels into the Bayou to hide from their Uncle. One of them involving a secret about their parents and the other, somehow the children are able to have an almost superhuman physical strength when trying to get back home. I do not want to go into more specific detail in case you are interested to read the story for spoilery reasons.
I think that the story was very well paced and full of action and adventure. My favorite part being a bit of a psychological thriller at the end.
For those that maybe interested, the story is not too scary for younger teen readers, the worst of it is when the Uncle tells the children he is going to rip out their fingernails. I would recommend this book to Teens or older looking for a quick, fun and interesting read.
Most of the story does take place inside of the Bayou, great descriptions and a setting that makes the reader feel like they are actually there.

I stumbled across this YA suspense/thriller and bought it because it was a Louisiana novel, and I devoured it. A young boy and girl have to outsmart an evil, jealous uncle when their mother and father's plane goes down in the bayou. This is a page-turning fast read. The descriptions are vivid and to savor. The crazed uncle has envied his brother all of his life and will stop at nothing to inherit the estate, even if it means killing his niece and nephew. Set in the sixties, you'll notice threads of the historical era and with a little imagination, the vivid writing will suck you right into the bayou and swamp. There's an old cypress tree, limbless and surrounded by quick sand. DeVille is a baby boomer who was influenced by the great storytellers such as Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Edgar Allen Poe, and O. Henry among others. He's on Facebook as Author Cornell DeVille. If you have a young girl or boy in your life, this is the book to pull them into another world where they become the rescuers. I'm from Louisiana and love to read novels set in my homestate. I'll have to watch for more by Cornell DeVille. His characters leap off the page and come to life.

The only way a book gets a 5 star rating from me, is if the author has the ability to pull me in to the story. Holy crap! I felt like i was written into the story and literally could not put it down until it was done. I felt every high and low, every bit of fear and joy. An amazing story from an amazing author i REALLY look forward to reading from again!!!

"Lost In The Bayou" by Cornell Deville was indeed a good YA thriller. I thought the story was very well written with lots of fast paste action. "Lost in the Bayou" was definitely a page turner in that I could not put it down until I was finished with it.... with each chapter leaving you wondering just what was happening next.This author did a wonderful job with this YA action thriller.
I found Robin simply amazing... along with her dear brother....Andy. In the novel their parents had disappeared and along come this horrible person who is their fathers brother....Uncle Conrad with his metal prosthesis...... is now taking charge of them. This uncle Conrad was indeed a mean and very dangerous person and I can only say God help these poor children....for this uncle even scared me! Was he really as crazy as he seemed to be? Just how will this all work out? .... You must pick up this good read to find out what and how this will turn out.
The characters really come out in making this a good read ......the author was able to make you really be drawn into this storyline. The children having been from a very loving family...close to the servants and now ....then this scary uncle who said things like:"I'm going to kill you until you kill me first." What?
The ending of this novel will be very dramatic... with so many twist and turns so get ready. If you are in for a good thriller in the bayou, crazy uncle, monsters, zombies, blueberries,'The Lone Ranger,' alligators, insects, bugs, and much more.... you will be in for a read that you will not forget. I would recommend not only for the young but the adult will enjoy this one too!

This book surprised me by being action packed from the beginning. Two chapters in and I was already turning page after page.
Robin and Andy are very relatable characters and the storyline was actually quite realistic. Even with the voodoo.
Rarely am I enthralled with a genre that's suitable for all ages (I'm a horror and gore Queen) but this one kept my attention no problem. I didn't find myself having to reread passages to keep up with the story it flowed beautifully.
I would have loved to read more about Voodoo Swamp and it's inhabitants. The prologue didn't satiate my thirst for knowledge when pertaining to the swamp. (I smell a prequel hint hint)
Overall an great read for all ages.
