The Replacings Kindle Edition

by Sandie Will (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
HE WILL REPLACE THE FAMILY HE LOST...WHATEVER IT TAKES. A heart-wrenching, stand-alone psychological thriller that continues the story of The Takings, Adrian Webster is back and wreaking havoc on the small towns of Central Florida, keeping his first victim, Wyatt Corringer, by his side and stealing more children along the way. Only this time, Wyatt is helping him. This edge-of-your-seat story not only brings the reader inside the mind of a disturbed kidnapper but also captures the deep and complicated connection between abductor and abductee.

--------------------

The cacophony of crickets and cicadas in the swamps of central Florida may be a soothing melody to some, but for sixteen-year-old Wyatt Corringer it is a constant reminder of the seven years he has spent in captivity. Kidnapped by his father’s best friend, Adrian Webster, Wyatt has been unable to escape from the grasp of his captor and now finds himself locked away with four young girls and plagued with Stockholm Syndrome. Adrian, obsessed with replacing the family he lost in a train accident long ago, is not working alone. A dark and sinister entity, Shade, takes over Adrian’s consciousness and causes him to act in dark and disturbing ways with each day becoming more difficult for Adrian to control. In a race against time, Wyatt must overcome Adrian’s stronghold and escape from this madman, and help free the other prisoners before he loses himself to his own demon.

NOTE: Though it is not necessary to read the first book, The Takings, it is recommended for the full experience.

From the Publisher

Man in foggy street
Young man entering the forest
Man standing. Rocky mountains behind him.
Image of author Sandie Will

Young boy in the swamps
7 years before The Replacings...

In the murky swamps of central Florida, a boy vanished on the way home one night.

No one heard his screams.

No one saw him struggle.

And the police have no answers.

Can one man's visions reveal the truth in time?

Editorial Reviews

Review

In Sandie Will's The Replacings, Wyatt Corringer didn't want any part of Adrian Webster's plan, but there's only so much you can do to thwart the plans of your kidnapper. He had tried to kill him, tried to stop him from completing the family he had once lost, but nothing he did made any difference. Or maybe it did. Adrian needed him, needed his family to keep his demon, Shade at bay. The thing is, even though he has everything he needed, his demon is not at peace; he is more determined than ever to ensure everything is just as Adrian desires, no matter who gets hurt.

I really enjoyed learning more about Adrian and Shade, seeing into the mind of the villain, and how he studied and applied techniques of manipulation in order to ensure cooperation. The ever-escalating fury and threat of Shade ensured the reader dared not step away for too long. I loved this book as it really is a psychological thriller. Sandie Will plays her version of Stockholm Syndrome against Wyatt's drive for survival and the need to protect Adrian's other victims. The Replacings truly is a tale of twists and manipulation. You fear for the characters as you're dragged into the horrific things they are forced to endure, while all the time glimpsing things from Adrian's perspective. He is a savior, taking his new family from cruel and neglectful hands, giving them a new life, a new purpose, ensuring they have everything they need, within his limits that is. All he needs is their cooperation. And that's precisely what Shade will go to any lengths to ensure. Gripping, horrifying, and thrilling, this is a page-turning sadistic delight for readers who love a deep-rooted psychological thriller.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bone-chilling.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The Replacings in a bone-chilling, sadistic thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from the start of the story. Readers are immediately taken into the throes of the story, a kidnapping, and the author’s descriptions of the abduction are so vivid that readers will feel THEY are inside a lucid dream, feeling every emotion and sensation—their worst nightmares coming to life on the pages of this book. Readers’ hearts will be torn into a billion pieces as they read the horrors that the children have to endure at the hands of their abductor. Readers will be pushed to the limits as they navigate through this story that takes them on a sinister ride into hell—the forbidden tower.

    I loved that the author gives the reader an insider’s view into the mind of a monster, and her ability to weave different aspects of the characters' personalities into the story is simply amazing. Overall, this book provides nonstop suspense making this a fast-paced read that you won’t be able to put down.

    Awesome story from Sandie Will! After reading TheTakings by Sandie Will, I knew I would love this story as it follows the characters into a new situation. I loved the character development and how they really connected to events of the previous story. I think it was a very satisfying ending and I was rooting for several of the protagonists without any predictable outcome. I am looking forward to picking up the next book from Sandie Will.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The top read for psychological thrillers this year!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    First of all, wow, after the first story, The Takings, with Adrian and Wyatt, I didn’t know if Sandie Will could pull it off again with the same characters, but she did and then some. Sandie Will masters story pacing in The Replacings as she ramps up your emotions until they pique and then gives you just long enough rest before taking you through another emotional rollercoaster. The Replacings is the psychological thriller to read this year! Within the first few pages, you’ll be sucked into the storyline and emotionally tied to one, if not multiple, characters.
    The Replacings is an excellent option if you’re looking for a fast-paced, page-turning, psychological thriller. I loved The Takings and think The Replacings is a phenomenal follow-up in the storyline. As with The Takings, Sandie Will leaves you on the edge of your seat on the last page, making you turn it in horror to see the back cover. No story truly ends, but Sandie Will ends The Replacings in the perfect spot for a psychological thriller.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another page-turner!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021

    After reading "The Takings," I wondered if and how Adrian and Wyatt's story might continue ... Seven years later, it picks up again in suspenseful fashion, taking us back into the wilds of the "real Florida," and immersing us in Adrian's warped fantasies of rebuilding his family. You'll be drawn into this tale, with new characters, new horrors, and an ending that might leave you just a little unsettled. Great read!
