WISH (Shudderville Episodes 1 - 8)

I love this kind of book! The kind of book that sort of slowly reveals everything in layers, like peeling back the layers of the most interesting onion ever. WISH is told in a series of 8 episodes, which are basically short stories, and each story may be in a totally different time period than the last and about a totally different set of people, but that's okay, because it's all connected.

And it it is done flawlessly. I was so excited when I found this book, because I just knew it was going to be good, but then since I only have limited book money, I didn't have enough to buy episodes 9 and 10 at the time, so I held off on reading this. Then Christmas rolled around and I got an Amazon gift card and found out that there is now a WISH show more TWO (yay!!), so I picked it up and started reading WISH ONE immediately. And I am so glad that my hunch paid off. This book is every bit as mysterious and amazing as I had originally thought it would be.

The characters were all interesting in their own ways...some tragically so. There were definitely some "aha" moments about a few of them. I love surprises, so that was right up my alley. show less
