Girl in the Corn

De: Jason Offutt

Narrado por: Josh Bloomberg

Sometimes beauty belongs in darkness.

Fairies don’t exist. At least that’s what Thomas Cavanaugh’s parents say. But the events that one night, when he follows a fairy into the cornfield on his parents’ farm, prove them wrong. What seems like a destructive explosion was, Thomas knows, an encounter with the Empty that threatens to destroy the fairie’s world - and his sanity.

Years later, after a troubled childhood and a series of dead-end jobs, he is still haunted by what he saw that night. One day he crosses paths with the beautiful young woman and the troubled young man he first met as a kid while under psychiatric care after his encounters in the cornfield. Has fate brought them together? Are they meant to join forces to save the fairie’s world and their own? Or is one of them not who they claim to be?

Good story.

I loved the actual story here. My only complaints fall under my own biases. I feel like the author could do a better job bringing his world to life. I didn’t feel immersed the way I normally would in a good book. The way he described some parts left me a little confused.

All in all, It was good enough to warrant moving on to the next book.

All the best to the author.
