This author is rapidly becoming one of my favorites, and this might possibly be her best yet- of the ones I've read, at least. I loved the creepy horror movie feel of the story and while there was at least one aspect of the twist toward the end that was predictable, I still loved watching it play out. I couldn't put this down and burned through it in about a day and a half, and I can't wait for the next one from Simone St. James!

Classic St. James ghost story with secrets, fun characters (I'm looking at you Beatrice and Gracie!), and a very mysterious road. Another entertaining read from one of my favorite "palate cleansers".

Another great paranormal thriller by Simone St. James. There are great characters and character development. I enjoyed that it was set in the 1990s. I also liked the urban legend-esque plot.
