Book Review: The River by Cheryl Kaye Tardiff

Book Title:  The River
Author: Cheryl Kaye Tardiff
Genre:  Sci-Fi

I read the summary for this book and hoped it was as good as it sounded, since, as I'm sure you've noticed I seem to want to read Supernatural, Sci-Fi things, it can kind of repeat itself.  LOL  It was so much better than the summary!

In The River, we meet an anthropologist/archeologist Professor named Delila Lawrence.  Her life is normal as a professor and she has her little phobias like everyone else.  She has health issues as well, which is what keeps her in the classroom most of the time.  Her father, Dr. Lawrence has been missing and presumed dead for many years.  

Then one day, in a split second, everything changes.

The characters in this book are mindblowingly believable, likeable, hateable and in some ways, just simply disgusting.  You easily relate to them and grow attached very quickly.

The setting is a Canadian National Park and is beautifully described by the author.  You can close your eyes and visualize it.

The mystery evolves, and suspense get deeper and you become so engrossed in the book and it's quick movement, that you just simply don't want to put it down.

THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED!!!!  I looked and looked for a second book, hoping these questions would get answered.  But, I just can't find anything.  If YOU do, please let me know...  I'd love to find out what happened to the characters whose lives were just...  left to the imagination!  I really do hope there is another book though.
