*I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*The Purgatorium: Purgatorium Series, Book One (The Purgatorium Series 1)By Eva PohlerPublication Date: December 13, 2013Daphne Janus is invited to go with her best friend Cam to a resort on an island just off the coast, Its mostly uninhabited and has a wildlife preserve on one side and Chumash Indian ruins on the “haunted” side.The resort might be beautiful, but when strange things start to happen, Daphne is soon left wondering what the heck she's got herself into, and when she becomes lost on the haunted side of the island, it’s not fun anymore, and she wonders if her parents have sent her there to help her or to punish her.This book has the reader guessing at the very start, there's is the mystery of the native ruins, the strange goings on also lead the reader into second guessing what will happen next.The history of the Indians mythology of the Island adds to the storyline, making you wonder what's real and what's not The book is a suspense tale suitable for YA or even teens.  This suspense and exciting story had me guessing who Daphne should  or should not trust.Ms. Pohler’s writing style flows well, and has written a storyline that makes it very easy to get lost in, it makes you ponder what would you do when faced with the same situation?I really enjoyed the way the characters were developed, You get to know the characters gradually, learning more and more about what makes a person tick.  Ms. Pohler has written a good story about a subject that is difficult to discuss, can the island doctor help Daphne come to terms with survivor guilt, and acceptance that there was nothing she could have done to help her sister?Why not buy the book and find out...I look forward to reading book 2
