This was a pretty good ghost story. It starts out a little slow, but then it picks up speed around chapter 7. This book had lots of twists and turns. The house has a mean-spirited ghost that makes its presence known to the mother and children - the father stays in denial through most of the book, but finally he realizes that there is such a thing as "ghosts". The story starts moving at a faster pace and the last 8 chapters of the book, I stayed up to the early morning hours to finish reading it. (Note: there is a sequel to this novel called "Ghost House Revenge" - I am looking forward to reading the second one). (

In McNally’s horror novel, the beautiful mansion seemed the perfect home for the Van Burens and their young family. At first the Van Burens believed there had to be logical explanations for the things that were happening. Before all was said and done, they were fighting for the lives of their children against an evil determined to destroy them all.

Scary at times and a worthwhile read. (

I thought this was a quick read. It flowed good and the characters were well developed. Who doesn't like a good ghost story with lots of twists and turns. Good read. (
