Review: Rift by Steven James

Posted by Melanie on Monday, November 04, 2024 with No comments
About the book:
Some doors were never meant to be opened. Some tales were never meant to be set free. When seventeen-year-old Sahara O’Saughnessy discovers a rift into the realm of lore, the most haunting stories she’s been telling her friends come to life, and she must find a way to stop them before they tear her world apart. RIFT explores loss, longing, and courage with spine-chilling suspense. Set within the Appalachian Mountains, it walks the boundaries between the known and the unknown.

My thoughts:

Rift was a fascinating YA read! I found the story chilling and difficult to guess what was happening. The setting was creepy and the characters were amazing. I felt for Sahara and how she was grieving her dad's death. The story had so many twists and the ending was jaw dropping. 

There were a couple minor things that I didn't love, but overall Rift was a very good read. I was shocked by one of the twists and can hardly wait until I'm able to read the next book, Portal, to see what happens next.

I recommend Rift to fans of YA supernatural/thriller/horror type books. A great read!

My thoughts:

Lost on a Mountain in Maine was a good movie. I liked how it was a true story and it was intense to see what happened to Donn. The acting was well done and the visual was good. I found the hallucinations (or whatever those little moments were) a little weird, but that was a minor thing. 

The ending was really good and fast-paced. I loved the interviews from the real people this movie is about....it was great to hear in their own words what happened. This was an inspiring movie of strength and family.

(Note: contains a few curse words - I believe only in the interview parts of the movie. Very minimal.)

Many thanks to WIT PR for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
