Rattlesnake Knob Everett Swift Lulu Press ISBN: 1-4116-6310-1 Fiction, Thriller Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Egart (Egg) has spent 30 years running from his past. When he was 15 years old, some extremely strange occurrences began to happen in his hometown. People began to suddenly drop dead. The only key to these mass murders was a man (or perhaps more aptly a horrible creature) who called himself Lucas Black. This dark man was out for blood and a high body count. However, once he realized Egart’s abilities, Black’s efforts focused on getting rid of Egart.

For the most part, Rattlesnake Knob was a well written, action filled thriller. I could have done without the protective kiss from the dying mother, a little too Harry Potter for my liking. I would have also liked to read a bit more gore being as there were so many murders in the story. Nonetheless, I liked the notion that Egart’s abilities serving as a warning system and that Black chose his future victim’s by examining the minds of past victims. I also liked that the first part of the story is in first person as a journal and then purposefully changes to narration to create a different point of view as the storyline changes.
