One of the well-written YA vampire stories I've recently read, Jennifer Paetsch's `Ghost of Doors' is about a teenage boy who has to use his wits and instincts not only to escape a supernatural trap but also evade his murderous doppelganger. The book opens with Wolfgang Schaefer in the middle of a life-threatening dilemma, and not even his best friend Marie or his talking horse Pilgrim could help him solve his way out of it. Or so it seems. You find yourself gripping the edge of your seat (if you're reading this on a Kindle device) as one seemingly innocuous secret unravels another more sinister--until every subsequent thing Wolfgang uncovers leads to a mounting arpeggio of revelations that compel the boy to question the nature of power that governs the world in which he lives--and subsequently, to question his very existence.I have read quite a number of other vampire or supernatural novels, but what sets apart `Ghost of Doors' from other novels of a similar genre is the quality of the writing. Paetsch has a good ear for dialogue as well as an uncanny skill to paint the color of the scene. She knows how to dangle enough bait to keep the reader turning the pages until the very end.If you're looking for a nice, good, quick entertaining read, pick up or download a copy of `Ghost of Doors'--it will not disappoint.
