Rating: 4 out of 5

Michael K. Rose, known mostly for his Sullivan's War series and other sci-fi stories, has put together an interesting YA novel and shown that he can write outside of the sci-fi genre. I'm not a big fan of YA usually, but I received an advanced copy of Darkridge Hall and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it really.That said, the horror aspect of the book was along the YA line and since I usually read horror and dark stuff, that aspect was a bit flat for me. For a YA audience, or those not use to reading horror pieces, this book will definitely make them turn on a light or two.Rose has a way of writing that keeps the reader turning the pages until the end. I was impressed with the way Rose extended his writing style into the YA arena in a way that even kept me interested as an adult horror reader.I recommend Darkridge hall for adults who like light horror and YA readers that enjoy a little scare in their stories.
