Charlie Manx has the coolest car: a 1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith. AIl the kids love it, especially its NOS4A2 vanity plate. Coolest of all is when they get to ride in it, down the street and far away. Goodbye home, goodbye family.
There's no returning once you've ridden in that Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Those kids are Charlie's children now.
Except for Vic McQueen. She's the only one who ever got away. Now all grown up with a son of her own, Charlie Manx is just a bad memory. Something to be forgotten. But Charlie never forgets. Not ever.
And now, twenty-five years later, he's got his sights on Vic's young boy. He's going to make sure a McQueen will be with him for ever . . .

Customer Reviews
NOS4R2
Good story, with enough to keep you reading. Some irritations about the layout. The use of continued sentences into titles which breaks the reading flow and feels like a cheap bad gimmick. I can't imagine it works any better on paper vs ebook. Some minor grammar nits that I found annoying. Still, overall a well paced and entertaining read - no regrets for the experience of the story itself.
Awesome!
NOS4R2 is a story about a mother's love for her child and her non-stop, do anything attitude to protect them. When Vic's son is kidnapped by the same person that took her years earlier, Vic needs to overcome her own problems and reunite with all the people she loves to get her son back. Once she has repaired the Triumph motorcycle, she once again has access to her secret bridge and she can finally chase Charles Talent Manx into Christmasland to find her son. This book was a roller coaster ride. I got confused in the beginning with how it was set out, but about a third into the book it all started coming together and I couldn't put it down or stop thinking about it. I recommend this story for all horror lovers.
Great read.
Bit like Stephen Kings meets SAW. Make sure you read all the acknowledgements. There is a very interesting epilogue hidden in there. Well worth the effort.
