This is a great book that did not disappoint! It’s the emotional rollercoaster you didn’t know you needed to start the summer. I was sucked in and kept reading well past my bedtime. The closer I got to the end, I didn’t want it to finish. I enjoyed the characters and how they were linked together.

“I was very intrigued with this story, right from the beginning. It immediately draws the reader in to the mystery of The Dale, with the curiosity of three childhood friends in their hometown of Cold Springs, Massachusetts. It is a very suspenseful journey with very compelling characters. If you are a fan of science fiction and suspenseful, supernatural and psychological thrillers, this book will not disappoint! I highly recommend it!!!”

“If I wasn’t one of those people that get up at 4 am I would have finished it last night and just not slept!”

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys meets Stephen King is how I can explain The Dale in a nutshell. The mystery woven throughout the tale leaves the reader rooting for Caroline to beat whatever is bringing her down and ended in a several year stint in a psych ward. The evil mysticism from the Netherworld brings childhood friendships back together and takes them through a tough and frightening adventure testing faith and friendship. Faith, friendships, and professionalism are tested throughout The Dale. The Dale is a refreshing novel that pulls the reader in and keeps them captivated until the last page. Congratulations to the Author Michael Parzymieso on your first published novel! I highly recommend.
