Tulp Rebecca has not yet been published. Rebecca is a great writer with potential of being a wonderful author. Tulpa takes place in Nova Scotia, Canada, which is also where the author of the book lives. Rebecca offers something very original with this story, I would like to read more of her books that she has written. Rebecca captivates me in this new story that is different from others that I have read. Rebecca is a great author with many talents with writing, I hope to see this book in book stores because it is a great story for readers that love the thrill of a mystery and the excitement of a twist.

Tulpa begins with a girl named William, but be careful she doesn't like being called Wilma, well her and her little cousin Daphne are at a toy store and Daphne is begging for the doll yet William doubts her mother will buy it for Daphne since they are not the wealthiest people so they leave to go home. Daphne has always been a special child, she is ten and still talks to herself, William is 14 and her and her mother think that it is normal for Daphne to be that way. When Daphne was younger something happened to her mother so she had to live with William and Williams mom. Well when they arrived at their house and William drifted asleep while Daphne was playing and her mom was working. When William awoke there was no sign of Daphne anywhere. Where is she you might ask? Read it for yourself and find out what happens again the tale. Take some time to read this thrilling book as William, her mom, and the detectives go through crazy obstacles to the beloved Daphne. Stay tuned for the weird unsuspecting twist at the end for it will have you startled!

I would like to advise the author of some things, the language in the book is a bit much for how old William is, and when they are doing normal things William just rages, try to also use words other than "pervert" and maybe work on the building of the characters, make me grow to like them, but other than that the book is a great mysterious book and knows how to keep you guessing. I would give this book a 3 out of 4 stars and I recommend it to others after changes. I like the way the author creates her own creature in the book and it would be cool to see more of that imagination.

I would like to see a mystery series spring out from this book, I don't want to see William disappear just yet, the author can create a series with book, William can become a detective in the future, but I definitely want to see more. This book is the great start to more books. I could see myself reading more of these creepy books as they've caught my attention, I would just strongly recommend the changes made because they would make the book flourish into a great novel.

The book brings the start of a new weird and suspenseful story. I recommend this book to other readers. Thank you for letting me review it :) I like the style that you can see throughout the book. I also like the voice that the author portrays and her descriptions of everything. Very nice indeed.
