I give this a solid 4 stars rating, maybe even a 4.5. Haunted house story that made me want to read to find out more. Eric Ross is traveling the country with his 2 kids trying to avoid being caught - you don't really find out why until much later. Eric is hired by a rich lady in Texas to live in a haunted house and record what he experiences in a journal. I like the overall story and the subplots also kept me engaged. Its a relatively short book at 260 pages. Recommend for those who like a good haunted house.
