Where Shadows Move is a well written Supernatural Thriller by Author Caroline Angel set in Australia. The main protagonist Sarah brings home a box of items from a market stall and comes across a set of Fortune Telling cards with unique abilities. At first Sarah is thrilled with the effects from the cards and lulled into a false sense of security as they manifest what Sarah desires. But as is normally the case, things are too good to be true and the consequences of using the cards take a darker and much frightening turn as people start to die around her in horrific ways. The Gift is clearly a Curse and one that has dug its claws into Sarah and refuses to let go. Now she must find a way to rid herself of the cards, and protect the ones she loves.
I loved the plot which moves at a satisfactory pace, the tension creeping steadily forward, pulling the reader in before suddenly thrusting them into terror and chaos. The characters are all well developed and easy to connect with, giving credibility to the plot and circumstances they find themselves in. Uncle Wally and Alison are two characters in particular that I really enjoyed and whilst they have their strengths it was good to see that they were not immune to the darkness and entity that haunted the cards. I loved all of the new age references that Sarah is told to try to silence the cards and prevent further deaths. Whilst there are some odd editorial issues, these are very minor and in no way distract the reader or pull them out of the story.
I would recommend to all horror and supernatural fans and award 5 stars.
