A review by tmdavis
House of Dark Shadows by Robert Liparulo

4.0

Very good for the first in a series. Things do not feel rushed but are paced very well. Basically, the story here is that Xander's family moves into a new house that they soon discover has portals to other times and places. But when someone from one of these places kidnaps his mother and takes her back through one of the portals, Xander and his family begin to search for her. Which is where book 2 picks up.

I was hesitant at first about these books because they are published by Thorndike which is known for publishing Christian fiction. So far, I haven't noticed any overt Christian overtones.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and interested enough to check out the second book.
