Review: Pretty Good YA, Interested to see where Book 2 goes!

Interesting YA, well written and complex plotting...The maturity level of a few characters bugged me at times. Admittedly, it could be their ages compared to mine, and not really based on the characters themselves. :-)The ghosts/ voodoo concepts, and lore were intriguing and I'm hoping the next book in the series delves into that further. I love the southern plantation setting and the author did a great job painting evocative images, especially the paranormal bits.I'm slightly perturbed at the ending. I mean, there are cliffhangers, and then there are Cliff-Hangers. In a way I felt like it ended a little abruptly, or like one longer novel was cleaved in two. Now, I haven't read the second book yet, but I did add it to my To Be read list, so that's saying something!3.5 stars overall
