But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In that mysterious house still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners’ son. Who died by drowning.

OK I am really anxious for this one to come out. Love the cover art and the synopsis sounds very ominous.
So what are your waiting for?

I'm not surprised he wrote a YA book, he did a great job with the young characters in The Shadow of the Wind. Can't wait to read more about it!

Hi, Jan -
I stopped by to check out your blog...and to apologize for not coming by sooner!
After writing 3 different blogs of 4 years, this is embarrassing to admit, but my settings somehow got messed up, and I wasn't seeing any of the comments for my kids' book review blog...for the past 3 months!! I was really wondering why no one was commenting. Anyway, I fixed the problem and saw your comments. Thanks for stopping by and for passing along some book recommendations! I like your blog - I'll be back!
I just posted a new YA review tonight.
