I enjoyed this book. It was a nice start to a young adult series. I will admit that there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered at the end of the book, but it makes me curious as to where the series is going rather than angry/upset/some other rageful feeling that I didn't get all the answers I wanted. Does that make sense? I was okay with it, guys. Sure, I have a few burning questions but I am content.Now, one question I have is how Sam's father allowed everything to happen without stepping in. I have a few theories on this. None of which I'm willing to share, mind you, but they're there. In my head. Waiting. I have to admit that Sam's home life and how she had to face her mother's mood swings and rage kept me riveted. Seriously, Sam's mother was the freaky kind of scary because you never really knew which side of her would show up next.I liked Nick. I liked the town but I wished we'd seen a little more of it. I liked ... well, I liked a lot of the supporting characters. One subset in particular, were very different from the norm and I'm interested in seeing them down the road. With the events that played out in the book, I'm curious how the town and all the inhabitants of Lacuna Valley are going to react and/or change their outlook on their little slice of home.All in all, a fun little read with an intriguing set of supernaturals and some twisted happenings. I expect that book 2 will give us more craziness and answers to those burning questions.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
