A Manhattan power couple survive a tragedy and attempt a fresh start only to be plagued by unexplained and disastrous occurrences...be careful what you wish for.
At the age of nine, growing up in the French countryside, Julien Grenier witnessed the brutal murder of his grandfather. Now, at forty-five, he continues to be plagued by horrific nightmares and reenactments of that tragic event.
Living a successful though austere lifestyle on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Julien has recreated himself, building emotional walls that even his young wife cannot penetrate.
Though somewhat moody, Julien is a good man with a heart of gold, and a great sense of loyalty and responsibility; enabling his wife, Rachael, to turn a blind eye to his tightly-kept secrets.
Rachael is thirty-two years old; an art dealer and playful free spirit, but after a home invasion assault leaves her emotionally unstable and destroys their care-free and content world, they relocate to a safer environment with the hope of a fresh start.
Kings Hollow is a quaint town, nestled in the serene Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. At first, their new home appears to be the miracle they prayed for, until a traditional children's game begins to destroy their bliss; Rachael is no longer herself and Julien is experiencing a string of bad luck and unfortunate accidents.
At the center of it all is seventeen-year-old Sarah, a part-time caretaker on the property.
Can Julien and Rachael escape the nightmare of Kings Hollow...or is this just Wishful thinking?
This book is getting one great review after another! Here are just a few of them:
“What an awesome read!!! If your looking for a good book filled with suspense and surprises at every turn, this is the book for you!!! It's one of those books you can't put down and it keeps you guessing until the very end. I loved every second of it and the only disappointment I had was that it had to end!!!”
“As an avid fan of thrillers, this is one great read. In a genre rife with predictable plots and one-dimensional characters, Wishbone is a refreshing change of pace from the status quo.
Julien was an excellently crafted character, as well as very likable. As a protagonist, he was perfect. I also really liked Sarah, who I found creepy. At the same time, I kind of felt bad for her.
This is a quick read, and has all the qualities of an excellent thriller. I can't wait to see what Brooklyn Hudson creates next!”
“Let me start of by saying this book is now one of my favorite books of all time contending with Ender's Game and The Catcher in the Rye. This book introduces new twists to the plot while still managing to maintain the central theme and keep the story relevant. Also, the story-line is so deep that it keeps you involved wondering what will unfold next. The story is developed and written so well you can imagine every detail as if it all could be real. Brooklyn Hudson does an amazing job of making it easy to paint a picture for yourself while reading. On top of all that the characters were created really well with distinct traits and personalities that also of course tie in with their situations in the story-line and how they react / handle them. I don't usually write reviews for products but I haven't enjoyed a book like this in a while so I felt compelled to encourage others not to overlook this book. Why else would it be rated 5 stars and reach the #1 spot in the horror / thriller novel section?
Bottom line if you're looking for a book that is exciting from cover to cover that doesn't have any lazy filler chapters this is a good book for you. I can't wait for the sequel and the movie.”
