Summary from Goodreads:
Three went in. Three came out. None even a shadow of who they once were.
When their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend Luke, and his brother Mike walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a nearby town called Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are blaring and the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they spend the night in an empty house.
But they soon discover that not everything in Purity Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants suddenly appear the next morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of the charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new wife. Elijah's son, Joseph, offers to help them escape...but the price of his hep may be more than Dee and her friends can bear.

*My Review*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
For horror, suspense, and mystery, Creed definitely had it all. From the beginning to the end, Trisha Leaver and Lindsay Currie delivered a eerily disturbing thriller that gave me goosebumps. Told in Dee's point of view, given her past, only intensified the feeling of dread and apprehension they experienced with this horrifying ordeal. From the beginning, the setting was thoroughly delivered a chilling atmosphere that kept me at the "edge of my seat"; however, the characters were not well developed and fell flat. Moreover, the story itself was spine-chilling and horrifying.
Creed is a hair-raising and chilling story of these teens enduring and surviving a horrifying ordeal that will haunt them, and readers, alike. Trisha Leaver and Lindsay Currie delivered a thrilling tale that horror genre lovers may enjoy.
My rating:
