A good, classic horror novel with metaphysical and paranormal elements

This would be a fantastic movie. Great characterization, excellent build and a spooky story with consistent rules and world building.

Freaky story

What did you love best about 314?

The opening sequence was one of the freakiest things I have ever listened to.

What did you like best about this story?

It is well written and suspenseful.

What does Vanessa Johansson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration was excellent.

Any additional comments?

It started off great then slowed down a bit but picked up at the end. There is a lot of jumping back and forth between timelines which can be confusing but the author explains why at the end of the book. I was about halfway through the book and then I found out it was part of a trilogy. Initially I was upset because I knew that all the loose ends would not be tied up but the book finishes answering one major question. I look forward to the other two books.

314 (A WIDOWSFIELD TRILOGY)

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! This is the first book in the series of three, and after it, I immediately downloaded the second and third series so I had them on hand, just in case I finish the second while I'm out and can't download. I'm not a big fan of the supernatural, I'm more of the psycho/thriller type of reader. However, this author had a unique way of "pulling you in," from the start. The narration is superb, and that's I'm going to say, because of spoilers .HOWEVER, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SURE YOU HAVE A STRONG STOMACH FOR THIS ONE!!! 😱😈 3:14 🐾

Could have been so much better

The book performance was good however the story was slow and confusing. The few action scenes went fast (should have been more).

Couldn't put it down

This was one of the best books I've read in a few months. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to delve into books two and three. Perfectly written and genuinely creepy as hell. If you haven't read the chaos horror that is 314, drop what you're doing and enjoy the spiral into deja vu hell.
