After Obsession Carrie Jones Steven E Wedel Books

This story is a thrilling mystery of terror, possesion and has the right amount of creepiness that kept me intrigued with the story and had me wanting to put it down all at the same time. As I mentioned in another review, I'm a total wuss when it comes to stories like this, but Carrie Jones and Steven E. Wedel have created story that has more than just creepiness to it. Their alluring Native American legend, well written and at times swoon worthy romance and intriguing characters kept me invested in this fast paced read.

This is not all what I was excepting, and I was pleasantly surprised with the story line. I liked the alternating points of views, I loved the Native American lore and the big role that plays in the story. I think that's something that's refreshing and not often found in YA books. I'm going to admit, that Carrie and Steven did a great job at freaking me out with their possession. That stuff already freaks me out, but the way they tie the River Man and what he does to the residents in this small Maine town is both intriguing and terrifying, and yet I kept reading the book. I wanted to know what he was going to do next, who his next victim was going to be and how Alan's Indian Warrior Spirit and Aimee's paranormal ability were going to stop him.

The setting is beautiful and perfectly fitting for the book. The romance is well written, sizzling, believable and one of the things I enjoyed the most about the story. After Obsession is definitely an intense, hair raising, scary good read. It's a book that had me jumping at sounds during the middle of the night. I'd definitely recommend picking this book up, and reading during the day light hours.....

After Obsession Carrie Jones Steven E Wedel Books Reviews

Told in alternating view points from Aimee and Alan, After Obsession is one heck of a paranormal thriller that will have you obsessed. An exciting blend of Indian mythology and demonic possession, this is a fast paced read that guarantees a couple of chills as the plot barrels on to a satisfying ending.

The alternating point of views made this novel special, especially since they were written by two separate people but jived so well together. I liked how powerful Aimee was and how she had a few things to battle on her own before she could really start to help. Jones chose to focus on family with Aimee and did an amazing job crafting a caring character. I expected good things from her after loving her Need series. This is why I was surprised to find that I preferred Alan's chapters. Please don't read into this thinking I didn't enjoy Aimee's chapters because I most certainly did, but I liked getting into Alan's character. Being part Indian, I was interested in how strongly he felt connected to that half of him since he didn't know his father. I wanted to know all about his spirit guide and the rituals he practiced even if he only learned how to do them on the internet. Together, Aimee and Alan made a great pair and you could just feel the excitement flowing off the page as each chapter was handed off to the next character.

I was interested in Wedel so I looked him up and found out he was a horror author prior to writing this novel. This worked so well for the paranormal aspects. The scratching and dark shapes in Alan's chapters really amplified the terror of the demon that Aimee and Alan were facing. Not to be outdone, Jones' chapters were equally as terrifying with their dust storms, knives and possessed best friends. Both authors did an amazing job creating the tone and creepy atmosphere. What was also refreshing was that the demonic possession part wasn't too complicated. There were steps the characters had to take but it wasn't tangled up in a lot of convoluted rituals and magic. Everything about the force they fought was pretty simplified and there wasn't really a need to over-explain.

That being said, I did feel like a bit more explanation was needed in some parts. I would have liked to know a little bit more about where Aimee and her mother developed their powers and possibly a little bit more about Alan's father, even if it was just things Alan surmised or his spirit guide revealed. Sometimes the plot would speed up and things would just be glossed over without much explanation. This might have just been because I'd had an ARC. Overall, I really liked how well both of the author's voice complimented their characters and each other. Aimee and Alan's pull to each other was undeniable.

Benefiting from it's mixed mythology and simplicity, After Obsession really is a hit. Alan and Aimee were a pleasure getting to know, both author;s excitement leaked from the page and there was just the right amount of creep factor to keep pulling the reader in. The tagline for this book says it best, watch out because After Obsession really will be your newest obsession!
