Terminal
by Michaelbrent Collings
Genre: Horror / Thriller
My Review
Take a bunch of strangers. Trap them in a confined place with no way out. Then have something horrific wanting inside. This scenario never gets old for me. I love discovering who bends, who breaks and who steps up.
The real fun begins when the captives realize an otherworldly force is keeping them trapped. And there are rules. One will survive. And they must choose who it will be. Getting it now? The rest will die. I had to know how it would happen. Would they kill each other? Would something else get them? And would they really be doing the choosing?
Once the dying began, the pace of the book really picked up. I met the characters. Got the scoop on most of them. And made my choice for the chosen survivor. Was I right? Nope. Was that the end? Nope. Of course there was a twist, and what a doozie it was. I really should have seen it coming. But that’s what make scenarios like this so much fun. You often don’t.
Terminal was a chilling, twisted read with lots of suspense and plenty of surprises. I’ve read some other books by the author and happy to say I enjoyed this one too.

Synopsis
All passengers, please prepare for departure…
An employee, a cop, and five prisoners; a prisoner, a stowaway, and a madman.
These are the people waiting at the Lawton bus terminal. Mostly late-night travelers who want nothing more than to get to their destinations, and employees who want nothing more than to get through the graveyard shift.
But when a strange, otherworldly fog rolls in, the night changes to nightmare. Because something hides in the fog. Something powerful. Something strange. Something… inhuman.
Soon, those in the terminal have been cut off from the rest of the world. No phones, no computers. Just ten strangers in the terminal… and The Other.
The Other is the force in the mist. The Other is the thing that has captured them. And The Other wants to play a game.
The rules are simple:
1) The people in the terminal must choose a single person from among them. That person will live. The rest will die.
2) Anyone who attempts to leave the terminal before the final vote will die.
3) The final vote… must be unanimous.
A nightmare. And getting worse, because the best way to make a vote unanimous… is to kill the other voters.
Welcome to the end of the line. Welcome to the Terminal.

This does sound like a perfect scenario for a great thriller! I like the first cover better, although they both grab my attention. 🙂
I do love scenarios like this! I like to see how the characters react.

sherry @ fundinmental
I’m gonna get ya, Sherry!
Something horrific wanting inside???? I’d be out of there in a jiffy but …you said they are trapped? Boy I understand why you chose that one for this months feature Laura!
No way out and nowhere to hide. My worst fears!
Fab review! This book sounds utterly terrifying to me but at the same time i want to read it!
I kept seeing this in my head! That made it even more chilling.
Loving this! Oh you know this reminds me of a book I’ve read – can’t be that memorable as I can’t remember who wrote it LOL
Once the dying began, the pace of the book really picked up.
Yeah, sounds like my sorta book! lol Will look out for this one, too!
When you are caught inside with no way out…My kinda story! LOL
Forgot to say… i like the bloody hand print cover best!
I’m torn. Both of them really work for the story.
I’m sure I read something similar by the author but it was a subway train or something…agh my brain has gone blank and I’m too lazy to look it up!
I’m trying to think of it now.
OOOH being trapped in places is spooky, but they are my favorite types of reads…lol.
Mine too!
