Oh the suspense!!! From the first page to the last page this book is filled with it! Scary, gruesome, great story line, great characters. Yes there were spots that I was kinda freaked out to walk through a dark room ;) A few issues...read this on my Nook and it was filled with places where there was a period and should of been a comma and a handful of words that didn't fit...kinda like when you type something then go back and change the words but don't delete all of the original words first. Not enough to not read this book though. Another thing is the description makes it sound like this book is about little Teddy Amory...and it is, to an extent. The story line is centered around her but a majority of the story is about other characters, the history of the town, and the evil spreading through the town. Every few or so chapters take you back to Teddy and what is happening to her and what she is going through but I personally think the description is a little misleading. This is a wonderful frightening story and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a scare!
