This book has some very good elements: there's an old, spooky hotel, and a group of ghost hunters determined to cash in on it. At the same time, one of the ghost hunters, Hector, is trying to deal with his troubled son, Darren, who seems to have had little parenting while living with his mother and stepfather. These two narratives will ultimately come together in a ghost 'event' at the abandoned Amador Hotel.When reading this book I found myself to be much more interested in the ghost-hunting elements of the story than in the drama between father and son. The two threads of the story do come together at the end, but I still think that some of the family dynamics could be cut. In general I found this to be a well-done ghost story.
