Summary of this Book...
Sally and David Curtiss are fledgling ghost hunters, on their first haunted house investigation alone.
The house seems disappointingly quiet at first, until it gradually begins to awaken, involving the couple completely. The ghostly events taking place in the house change the couple's own relationship.

This is NOT a gore book, nothing like Stephen King. It is an intelligent haunted house book, well written, researched and plausible.
This type of Book is good for...
Sophisticated readers of ghost stories/haunted house novels, readers who enjoy stories that delve into relationships, readers who want to learn about modern day ghost hunting.
I especially liked...
The exploration of the story behind the haunting...the explantation of ghost hunting...the atmosphere Ms. Hawkes creates in her story. The love scenes are well written. You want to keep reading to find out more about the story behind the haunting of the house.
I didn't like...
The way the book was edited. I think it was Ms. Hawkes first book, and you can tell where some editor took a hatchet to chapters.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read her other books...which..alas..are not as good.
This Book made me feel...
Like I wanted to own the book, and re-read it.
We did buy the book in paperback; I have read it about 8 times, my husband about 5. Should be a movie. With Gweneth Paltrow in the lead.
The author of this Book...
Should write a sequel.
I recommend this Book because...
It is hard to find a true haunted house story that is plausible. Good haunted house stories are few and far between, especially modern ones.
