“Amador Lockdown” by Coral Russell is a riveting tale of paranormal excellence. Hector and the Paranormal Posse (that is NOT the name of a rock band) were doing just fine with their public tours of allegedly haunted buildings in old El Paso, Texas. They even did the occasional “ghost hunting” routine to prove or debunk rumored hauntings. When they decided to debunk the notion that Amador Hotel was haunted, they discovered a far darker “other side” than they ever expected to experience.On top of all the damage precipitated by unhappy spirits, Hector’s son, Darren, whom he had only very recently taken into his home, disappeared. Hector’s ex-wife, his parents, his friends, and even the police, all believed Darren had simply run away from Hector’s home. When the police found and returned Darren to Hector’s house, it seemed as if everybody else was right. But Hector could tell it was not Darren on the inside; another, more evil, spirit had taken control of Darren’s body.“Amador Lockdown” is a highly enjoyable book. It is also very well written, and comes with a complex but easy-to-follow plot. The characters were very believable in every respect, and their interaction was precisely what you would expect. Darren’s behavioral problems were also exactly what you might expect from a young teenager whose parents had divorced, and whose new Step-father was abusive.Coral Russell did some serious homework before writing this enticing tale. I fervently recommend “Amador Lockdown” to anybody and everybody who has an interest in haunted buildings, ghosts, or any other aspect of the paranormal. In a word – “Amador Lockdown” is awesome!
