Revival was quite riveting and therefore very hard to put down to do necessary things (like meals, sleep, etc...). I really, really enjoyed reading it. Of course I've enjoyed everything I've ever read that was written by Stephen King! I've even liked the ones that were highly criticized by some fans.
I've begun reading
The Last Safe Place by Ninie Hammon which was a freebie from Amazon in mid-November (it's now no longer a freebie but still only $2.99 for the Kindle version).

YOU CAN RUN FROM A STALKER, BUT YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE DEMONS IN YOUR PAST -- Yesheb al Tobbanoft is Evil with skin on.
Gabriella had been pretty once, before her husband threw acid in her face. Ty had been a happy little boy once, before he did something utterly unforgivable. Pedro had been a distracted parent once--just that one time! Now he carries a staggering burden of guilt for an unthinkable crime. But Yesheb ....? No, Yesheb could never have been anyone or anything other than who he is. His fate was sealed for him before he ever drew a breath, in the womb--when the doctors say he ate his twin brother. Put all these flawed, wounded people together, add terror, mystery, a 14,000-foot mountain, lightning, and a 2,000-year-old tree with "unexplainable" power. And that's The Last Safe Place.
