So far it’s a good quick entertaining read, though I dont find the stories nearly so scary that I would want to sleep with the lights on. . . its a good change of pace for a short break between books, and Vande Velde’s writing is excellent as always in portrying her characters so they are very real. . . since she is writing about an area of New York state which has places that are familiar its noce to be able to picture the settings.
