Oakwood Island
4/5 Stars! If you’re a fan of good old-fashioned death, blood and gore, like Stephen King books and mystery this is a must read!

Format: Kindle Edition
This story took over my life like the yellow pus took over some of its characters. I felt the impact of this mystery novel immediately and it kept going throughout!
Not typically a fan of the macabre and grotesque, I make an exception for some of Stephen King’s work and would definitely compare this story to his writing. Angella Cormier and Pierre C Arseneault are Atlantic Canadian authors.Their collaborative story telling is seamless as this novel was put together in pieces but completed like a morbid but well sewn quilt.
It begins with a dramatic scene at an orphanage where a crazy lady was calling out to Maggie, a child resident, who left something in the confusion of being hauled off to the psych ward by a medical team. The fast paced and mysterious action only went on from there.
The island is described as picturesque and a close-knit community, a place many would be interested in visiting for an escape from their regular work life. And it certainly offers an adventure that no one would call boring. With a creature unlike a werewolf but often described as such for lack of understanding, the island is complete with a mystical elder, an eager botanist and a hospital filled with mysterious nurses, doctors on missions and psych patients to love, it’s a mixture that will certainly make some memories.
I am a huge fan of this writing team, for their writing ability and passion to succeed. Having them be from a neighbouring province of New Brunswick, Canada makes it all the easier for me to spread the word about their new release.
