31 Days of Halloween { review } Cell by Stephen King

Today we are joined by Ellen of Confessions of an Overworked Mom

Clay Riddell is in Boston on business when all of a sudden the world goes crazy. A teenage girl on a cell phone attacks a woman in a power suit, ripping her throat out. Cars crash into each other. People start speaking in gibberish as they try to attack and kill anyone and anything they can. Clay barely escapes with his life as he barricades himself with a few other seemingly normal people inside a building. They’re all completely in shock at what’s going on outside.

Clay and the other survivors prepare their escape from the town to try to find somewhere safe and find out what’s going on. They begin to suspect that it has something to do with cell phones. The crazy people are now traveling in packs, hunting for the survivors to change them as well. Then the dreams start… the same dreams for everyone and the signs start to pop up like they’re being shown the way to something or away from something.

As always, Stephen King is the master of story telling. He gives out just enough information to let you think you know what’s happening and then all of a sudden you’re not sure any more. The Cell will really leave you on the edge of your seat. What if cell phones really were dangerous? What if something besides conversations were being transmitted from phone to phone? What if it could really happen?

The Sacred Bones by Micheal Byrnes

Synopsis: At the crossroads of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish faiths, an ancient artifact is stolen from a long-hidden vault located directly beneath Jerusalem’s Temple Mount . . .

With the violent theft leaving thirteen Israeli soldiers and policemen dead, and the Palestinians up in arms over the desecration of sacred grounds, the tension between the two groups is dangerously high. Jerusalem is a stick of dynamite and the fuse has been lit. . . .

Across the Mediterranean in Italy, American forensic scientist Charlotte Hennesey has been hired by the Vatican to examine the contents of a newly discovered archeological treasure: a two-thousand-year-old ossuary containing the bones of an unidentified, crucified man—the first complete skeleton of a crucifixion victim ever found. Together with Italian anthropologist Giovanni Bersei, Charlotte makes startling forensic and genetic discoveries that lead her to wonder—could these be the bones of Jesus Christ? Read more
