Reminiscent of the classic Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life," while touching on themes of parenting and paralyzing fear, this book was full of twists and turns and hooked me up until the very end. Very imaginative with some particularly wild sequences. It's also quite violent and bloody, so be warned.

I did get a kick that one of the locations in the story is literally located at the end of the street where I live!

Julie Clark delivers once again! Even though this was my least favorite of her books, I still found it gripping and entertaining. The non-linear storyline, with its time jumps to the 1970s, was a highlight, and she did an excellent job recreating that period. Although the ending left me wanting more, the story as a whole was truly enjoyable.

Side note: The only ghosts in this story are those that linger in our minds.

While the themes and main characters in his books so far may seem similar, the compelling storytelling continues to keep me fully engrossed until the very end.

Out of all his books, this one seems to be the darkest of them all.

And I love it!
