"This book scared the heck out of me"
Barry and Maureen left behind their hectic Southern
California lifestyle to start over in Corban, Utah seeking
a simpler pace. They buy their dream home inside a gated
community called Bonita Vista with a beautiful view and
just about all the amenities anyone could desire. The only
stipulation they are required to meet is to become a member
of the Bonita Vista Homeowner's Association, which the
loving couple readily accepts. The first indication that this is not paradise occurs
when Barry and Maureen host a yard sale and an agent of the
Homeowner's Association write them up for violating the
rules. As time passes, both Barry and Maureen chafe under
fascist restrictions and soon notice strange events
involving the Homeowner's Association. One is that the
Association seems to know everything they do and the
members enter their home without using a door. Worse are
the inexplicable deaths and disappearances of neighbors
which makes the duet wonder how much danger have they
agreed to when they signed the dotted line. After reading THE ASSOCIATION, most people will think
twice about living within a gated community even with the
added security. Readers will be shaken by this superb tale
that will lead to higher electrical bills because of lights
being left on all night and an increase in 911 calls for
every noise not immediately explained. Bentley Little is a
giant when it comes to making every day normal living seem
so frightening. Harriet Klausner
