Reader Reviews
Alex was preparing for her cousin Paul's arrival and his 40th birthday party when her aunt Mary has the shock of her life when she is approached by the ghost of a girl who died nearly thirty years ago. Melanie Parr disappeared and it seems she has come back to the small town of Watterow in England, bringing storms with her and seeking revenge in very creepy ways. Alex is discovering she isn't the only one with secrets as the town's people, aunt and cousin included, all seem to be hiding something. Strange and deadly things are happening and no one knows how to stop it. I don't generally read this genre, but a friend read it not too long ago and the storyline intrigued me. Is there anything creepier than evil children? I think not. This story delivered plenty of chills and as my city experienced power outages this weekend I found myself reading by candlelight then doing that ultra girly leap/dive into bed so Melanie and the other spooks in this story couldn't catch my feet from under the bed. I also ran from room to room looking over my shoulder. Embarrassing, I know. This story is surprisingly complex and even tugged at a few of my heart strings when dealing with some of the secrets and the ending in particular. This was a suspenseful and creepy read and I am glad I stepped out of my normal reading realm to enjoy this one. Cherise Everhard, June 2008
