October 31st Book

I was having a little difficulty deciding on 3 or 4 stars for this book. I leaned towards the four because, for me it was an easy and fast read. Once I reached the middle of the book, I finished the rest in almost one sitting, and the whole book in a 24 hour period. It kept my interest and I like the ghost/psychic angle.

I also liked Joe, Leslie, Nikki, and Adam. I did care what happened to them and for me, the action moved pretty fast. I wish Adam and Nikki would have been developed more and had a larger part in the story. I got a little confused with the other characters. A couple times, I had to re-read previous pages to remember who they were. Also, there were some characters left hanging out in the wind, so to speak, and I would have really liked some closure there.

The ending was a mixed bag for me. I liked the suspense, but when the killer was revealed, it just didn't make any sense to me. The motive behind the killings could really have applied to almost all of the secondary characters, along with the means and opportunity. What did make sense to me was the twist at the end that, normally, I just wouldn't care for. But the way the story was written, that part seemed logical to me.

Overall though, it was fun read and I enjoyed it. She's a first time author for me, and I will definitely be checking out some of her other books.
