5.0

I knew Cold Moon Over Babylon was going to be a 5 star read just by the description. A girl is murdered and comes back from the dead as a vengeful spirit to exact revenge on her killer??? Sign me up!

This was such a well written, tense read. It had me pacing in my kitchen while flipping page after page. Michael McDowell has such a wonderful writing style and he really knows how to write villains/unlikable characters. Absolutely one of my favorite books.
