Rating: 4 out of 5

This book was pretty good; the suspense and mystery mixed with a bit of paranormal activity all combined for a very good story.  I did have a few of problems with it and one I have to get off my chest; even though it was only a minor part in the book but I'm an animal and wolf lover in particular and when the characters were saying how vicious the wolves are; that angered me greatly as wolves are NOT vicious without a reason for it, unlike our own species. They have a bad enough reputation thanks to small-minded idiots as it is and adding to that in a book, fiction though it may be, is irresponsible.  The other problem is how whiny the woman in the book, Victoria, turns out to be.  For someone who writes a great deal of horror novels she can't tolerate anything and ends up as a weak character.  It's the standard idea of the males in the book being braver & better able to cope with stressful situations than the woman which I'm sure will tick off quite a few ladies who read the book. And I can take typos here and there; that's only natural, I mean I've even seen typos in Stephen King's books on occasion but after a while they start piling up; the words aren't so much misspelled as they're misused which probably wouldn't be caught by spell-check since the spelling is accurate but that just means that someone should proof-read the copy before it's finalized to catch the misplaced words.
