Review of The Middle Reaches (Episodes 1-8)
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Middle Reaches (Episodes 1-8)" by L. Andrew Cooper.]
Can trauma haunt you years later?
Do dreams have a much deeper meaning than we think?
"The Middle Reaches" tells the story of five friends (Nick, Pedro, Ambrose, Celia and Leslie) who after so long of not seeing each other, reconnect. A rather unusual dream invades their consciousness; a dream whose goal is to take them to a place where a tragedy occurred that marked their lives. A memory of what happened years ago when they were teenagers; when one of his companions disappeared, or perhaps... Died. Since he left the trail of his bloody clothes, leaving everyone with the constant doubt that it had happened to him. But that is not the only mystery they must discover, they must also travel to those years of youth and confess all the secrets they hid at the time.
Will they be able to know what happened to their friend?
It is a very entertaining story, easy to carry and with a well-achieved development. Little by little he unravels the small and large important details of the story; allowing you to advance together with the characters and live the story in your own flesh. Just as they uncover the unknowns of each protagonist, along with their past.
There are unexpected twists in the story and occasionally, something scary happens. So, if you are a person who likes suspense and mystery, this book is for you; You can even formulate your own theories of what happens or what will come later.
Similarly, if it is one of your first times reading a Fiction/Horror book it is a good option to start with that type of reading, its chapters are not so long and do not include so many elements with which you can get confused and thus be able to read more easily.
I give it 3 stars out of 5, it's a book you can read more than once (if you wish). They could get more out of some topics in the story, since due to the number of pages, they had to shorten it.
A good book, good to pass the time and start a new trajectory in suspense and terror.
