This book was so captivating that I read it in one sitting!

FOUR KITES by Dave Blackwell (@blackwell_dgf) is a psychological thriller, a lurid macabre of horror, mystery, and ghost story. It’s dark and disturbing, gritty and raw, highlighting the cacophonous torment of the human soul.

Our protagonist, Elena, must overcome her inner turmoil through dreams and nightmares and flashbacks of memories. She struggles with trauma and questions reality, seeking the truth while unraveling a morbid enigma. Blackwell’s book is insightful, suspenseful, and a highly recommended read.

Loved the story and characters. The book could use some editing, but other than that I really enjoyed the book.

This book is just ok. The typos are just annoying, and there are lots of them.

Needs an Editor

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020

I couldn't finish this book. After the first sentence, I already had low expectations. "The raindrops gently landed on the windscreen of the car and slowly trickled downwards." The weather-talk opening cliché and two lazy adverbs immediately make this writer seem like an amateur. But I powered through.

It gets worse rather quickly, and the writing comes across like it's done by someone who has English as a second language.

These appear in the second paragraph:

"She sat shivering, still damp from getting caught in the sudden downpour as she left home in a hurry, struggling to get her car door open to realise she had the wrong keys."

"She looked in the sun visor mirror, her shoulder-length black hair still wet and slightly becoming frizzy from having the car heater blowing, which she had since turned down. The air now blowing cold was making her shiver, but the only way to stop her hair doubling in size."

I've seen this kind of writing before. I actually did this back in high school. When someone tries hard to make their prose sound nice but they lack the skill or experience, it often comes out like this. Unnatural is the best word for it.

If you value your brain, don't start this book and try to make sense of this kind of writing. If the writer valued his work, he would have paid for an editor.

Four Kites had my head spinning and unable to put down, I needed to know what happened with the children. Is this a dream? No...is this a dream?....Alright this is definitely a dream...right?! This suspense horror gave me goosebumps from time to time.

Blackwell is a 'shivers up the spine' kind of writer.

I couldn't finish it. Maybe there's a great story in there somewhere, but I'll never know.

Hard to put down

Reviewed in Australia on December 16, 2018

This mind-bending, supernatural thriller was really hard to put down. Intriguing storyline right from the start with some really scary imagery that will probably haunt me for a while. Great read if you’re into the supernatural/horror and psychological thrillers.

Disappointed reader.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2020

The cover drew me in but the grammar and story turned me off. The book would benefit from finer attention to detail by the author. I was disappointed by this novel.

I had been looking forward to reading this book for some time, but it was nowhere near as good as I thought it was going to be. The premise is good, but the way in which the story is written lets the book down. I am sure the author could write some decent works, and I would consider reading more of their books in future, but sadly, this one was not for me.

A brilliant thriller! Loved it!

An awesome book! Very well written. It is a supernatural ghostly story. If you love reading thrillers you will absolutely love this book. Can't wait to read SOUL.
