The Reach Leisure Fiction Horror Book Review

This is a beautiful thing, seeing Kenyon flex his muscles over the short span of just two novels. It speaks very promising for his future as a novelist.


I enjoyed Bloodstone but Kenyon really turns up the heat with The Reach. It calls to mind a couple of different influences such as King’s Firestarter, The Ring and the video game F.E.A.R. But don’t let that fool you—this story is completely unique and told in a way that only Kenyon can tell it. It’s a dark, multi-layered story that unfolds masterfully as you go. What did it for me is the feeling of emotion you get out of the story and the characters.


We get drops and drips of Sarah’s potential throughout the novel but the explosive climax is just irresistable in its delicious carnage. You’ll find yourself cheering Sarah on. I know I did.


Just stay on her good side. This novel is definitely a keeper, and I think Mr. Kenyon is just warming up. I can’t wait to see what he’s cooking up next.
