It's lovely how the right narrator will infuse life into a book. Great book, too. ( )

I really am enjoying this series and am so sorry there is only one book left. Found an extra story today in an anthology...anything to extend the pleasure of the characters. ( )

A sequel of a spin-off, but a decent one. Tony is still a lowly tv production assistant, but this time the crew is trapped in an evil haunted house. I've realized that Huff writes the most cheerful horror I've ever read. (April 01, 2006) ( )

Better than the first in the series, itching to read the third now. Better book than the first. Liking character of Tony more. Love Lee and the surprising situational conflict arising. Henry was in book very little and takes a long time to appear. Clear Huff wants reader to be clear this is a Tony show, but a character as interesting as Henry can't disappear too long in the background without harming the book. Villain was awesome in a gory, almost cheesy but not cheesy way. Showdown fight worthy of its story and opponents. Sometimes assistant Amy got on my nerves. Ghost scenes cool, pacing tight. Rarely dulled (although a mite bit at minor times). Really left warning more at end with the Lee and Tony situation (i'm such a drama addict!) ( )

I like this one better than the first in the trilogy, but it still felt padded. It all takes place over one night in a haunted house, as the cast and crew of Darkest Night try to film an episode about a haunted house on a location where the real ghosts are far more dangerous. Tony continues to learn wizard skills. ( )

Book description
Despite being cliché it's fun to read.I also find the mild almost hidden "Shonen Ai" element in it refreshing.
