I was happy to get to the end. Lindsey Stiles has some marvellous story ideas but her problem is in the writing. While anything is an improvement after Mommys Little Angel, Stiles has a very long way to go before she is no longer an amateur.I wish I knew her age because, without wanting to sound mean, she writes like a child. The writing got worse as the story progressed until it was a pain to try to read. Dialogue is very bad and unrealistic and everything feels like Lindsay just rushed.I really do think it is a shame because ,like with Mommys Little Angel, the story had the potential to be something greatbut I feel like Lindsay is still learning how to write well. I lost interest and didn't care about the characters because of the poor writing.Just one example of Stiles not being on the ball are some scenes with Nikkis' husband Brad..He didn't believe in the haunted telephone even though he had just spent the entire day talking to dead relatives on it.Disappointing.
