Again this book is fine. There isn't anything particularly bad about it, its just boring. The characters fall flat, the pacing is bland, and the story barely passes as engaging. I think the premise is cool especially with the setting and time period but, the execution is bland and needed either more explanation or less explanation and more action. Very middle of the road series wise.

This is a good somewhat spooky short story to begin the fall season with. I would have enjoyed Maggie's powers being explored a bit more, but the brief telling and abrupt solution to her problem keep a mystery alive.
