Rain Thomas has been clean for the last three years. Seven years an addict, she still suffers the guilt of giving up her baby for adoption when she was a teen and the grief of her boyfriend's death in Iraq. She's struggling to gain control of her life, to ignore the pervasive voices in her head, aided by the friends she's gained in her narcotics anonymous meetings.
On her way to a job interview she reviews her resume, aided by a pair of reading glasses she borrows from a woman on the subway. While wearing the glasses, she sees a young boy running down the aisle, screaming in laughter...or is it fear or pain. Yet no one else sees the boy and Rain is left unable to explain what she's seen.
Then, she begins to lose track of time. Not just minutes or hours, but full days. When she shares this with her closest friends, they too begin to suffer the same symptoms. Certainly they aren't all succumbing to the drugs that once imprisoned them...or are they?
Rain must reach back into her past to the secrets she's buried for far to long in order to save herself, and the ones she loves the most.
I do love me some Jonathan Maberry. No mater the genre, I will pick up anything and everything this man writes. I’m so thrilled to have listened to this most recent sampling of his fiction. It’s quite the captivating read, with a truly unique storyline and genuine characters with which readers will quickly connect and bond. The protagonist he creates in Rain is determined, haunted, yet still completely flawed. These characteristics add to the genuine feel of her character, for her story is one that demands sympathy and understanding.
Maberry excels at writing a full gamut of genres, ranging from zombie horror to this wonderful mash up of horror and crime fiction. One of the very best things about his range of talent is that he writes the type of scary any reader can enjoy. All in all, he’s one of my very favorite authors. If you haven’t sampled his writing and want a recommendation, I’m here for you! Highly, highly recommended.
