5 Stars!

A twisting, page-turning, darn good yarn! Cappawhite was well-written, engaging and heart-breaking. Tate's characters are well drawn and believable.Mr. Tate also does a great job of pulling the reader into his story and making you care what happens to each person you encounter. The final resolution in this book is not predictable, and haunting, and you find yourself moved, and rooting for various characters. The story is also about love, loyalty and sacrifice. A definite page-turner, and a riveting read!

appawhite is novelist Gerald Tate's first book, and, judging by the content in the novel, he is a name to watch out for in the future. This intriguing book is a cut above the usual horror story, as Tate spends time fleshing out his characters and establishing what drives these people to behave the way they do. Apart from the chills and thrills, the novel contains stories of unrequited love, miscarriages of justice, and unforgettable tales of gritty crime in America. It has plenty of scary moments to please traditionalists, and Tate's natural knack for good storytelling will bring those unaccustomed to this sort of story crying out for more from this author.

Tate's approach to this spooky Irish story is unique and original: it is a love story, a ghost story and, best of all, a gripping thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. You will empathise with the main characters and be totally taken by their plight as you hope against hope that each one will get through this alive, without having to make the ultimate sacrifice. Spinetinglers recommends Cappawhite, and cannot wait to read the sequel, so come on Gerald, keep writing!

Suspense, legend and mystery combined... Author Gerald Tate was born and lives in Belfast. Although his first novel, Cappawhite displays Tate's ability to hold the reader in the suspenseful palm of his hand until just the right moment. He has a knack for the macabre and we look forward to more by this author. Filled with interesting characters and entertaining interactions.
