The pacing was a bit fast, and the mystery too short, but the tone was dark and fun and entertaining. I quick, entertaining read.

Wow, the suspense... It's indescribable. It had so much mystery. It is about a creepy house, the Hunt House and this girl named Herculeah Jones has to go there to read to a paralyzed man, Mr. Hunt. It had this weird sensation that I loved. I might even read more in the Herculeah Jones series. It is soooo good!
