I personally read this book soon after it came off the press. It is a thriller that takes place in a small town, somewhere. Lake City could be your town or my town. The main charcters in the book are three teenagers, all with extremely different lifestyles. Two are fairly new residents in Lake City, one has been there all his life. The people in most cases are good citizens who thrive on hard work, friendship and love. Then there are the choice few who relish the idea of destroying the loyalty of others. All in all, the people who live in the lake side town are common, understanding folks, all woven with the fabric of love, hope and promise. Chapter after chapter, L.M. Oneal leads our travel through the pages with different episodes of mystery and heart-felt tragady. The book is a page turner from the beginning to the surprising ending. I highly recommend this book, written in a simplistic, understanding that contains no profanity. Teens as well as parents will most certainly enjoy, See you at the Station. Once you read it I am certain you will recommend it to others.

BOOK REVIEW

“See You at the Station”

 

 

A craving for mystery and intrigue has been quenched with going on within "See You at the Station".  The author made me feel the presence of the characters, their emotions, fears and even the bewilderment.  This book is very skillfully written in a manner to grasp and captivate the reader and leaving you yearning for more, propelling you hastily  through to the end, yet forcing you to re-read several chapters to re-experience the agony, misery and pain with a stabbing desire to get a glimpse of yet another twisted episode. My emotions, curiosity and imagination were awakened; I want a sequel.  Five Stars

See You at the Station, August 17, 2009

C. J. Narron (Kenly, NC) - See all my reviews
  

The first book in a series, "See You at the Station," tells of a widowed newspaper publisher about to retire and the reporter who bought the publisher's paper and moves his wife and daughter to their new town away from the big city.

O'Neal weaves and intermingles the character's relationships to the others in town, from those most respected in society to those who are scorned and the reader is drawn into the secrets and life choices that they all make.

There are those in the book that are drawn to evil and those that have gifts from God. A little boy named Timmy, born into a bad family and often locked in a dark dirt cellar, desperately longs for a friend. There is only one person, an elderly neighbor that has ever been kind to him, and he is killed the night the reporter's family moves to town. Timmy's left with the darkness for comfort. What he finds there will affect a whole community.

O'Neal graphically displays the war between evil and good for men's souls in the thoughts and actions of each character as they come into view of the reader.

This book shows a lot of promise from this new author from Middlesex, NC and hopefully the next book in this series will be out soon to let his readers know what happens next.

I do recommend this book, be warned that evil can be graphic, but turning a blind eye to abuse is something many 'good' people may have to answer to one day. You'll come to know each of O'Neal's characters and identify with some and you'll want to know how this all plays out.
