​The Cabin Sessions
Author: Isobel Blackthorn
Length-Approx. 300pgs

 
Here we have a definite must-read for those that love psychological and suspense thrillers from Blackthorn Book Tours.  While I wouldn’t necessarily call this a horror novel it certainly is a wonderful cerebral tug of war.  With the steady and consistent build-up of tension and suspense, the author leads the reader through the lives and happenings of a select group of people gathered on a stormy night at a local cabin where they play music and gossip about each other.

This tantalizing page-turner has an easy-to-follow format due to the author’s clever insight.  Each chapter is named after a character.  When you read each chapter, you are instantly aware of whose “world” we are in and can easily find where we are in each character's story.  This story also has plenty of twists and turns to captivate the reader and keep them guessing what will happen next.

Additionally, this particular author has an extensive vocabulary coupled with poetic wit and tempered patience.  This means there are no “dead” spots or filler text.  The story keeps moving, characters keep building and in doing so, they become more realistic and relatable with every event in the plot, no matter how minute or significant each experience or event may be.  All of these skills are melded together to create a fantastic story to curl up with next to a fire and completely submerge yourself in the twisted minds of normal individuals.  
 
There is nothing outwardly special about each character.  No obvious hero types or high-moral preachers.  No clear-cut villains or physical wars are being waged.  Instead, we get to know these people almost as we would in real life.  Slowly, carefully, little details here and there combined with behavior and thoughts.  These characters develop and mold into true people with thoughts, issues, and solutions.

A lot happens in these few hundred pages.  Many lives are unveiled and a lot of truly personal and intimate details are revealed.  Just like in real life, the characters are all different.  And yet equally as realistic, these people we meet are no different from many others, each having their qualities and personalities, flaws and issues, dreams and failures, losses and successes.
