Meet the Paranormal Posse, based in El Paso, Texas. A group of otherwise total opposites come together over their shared fascination with the paranormal. Geeky, yes. Compelling and intricately human, hell yes. Amador  Lockdown accomplishes a nice balance of spooky without making one's head spin before vomiting. I'm not a horror movie fan. I don't dig making light of evil stuff. But this novel finds a good human groove early on and sticks with it.The Amador Hotel in Las Cruces, New Mexico is the focal point. The author, Coral Russell, unfurls the setting via several eye witness accounts before having the main characters actually on location. This is her first well calculated effort at building the suspense in a story that escalates all the way through to the end. Overall, the story mixes a bit of the human, the paranormal and the historical into a enjoyable read. Read it! Review it! Share it!
