Review: Imaginative and fresh!

I have been on something of a young adult vampire story binge for the past year or two and was excited to come across Ghost of Doors. This is one of the best written stories I've read in a while. Jennifer Paetsch drops you right into the story and draws you breathlessly along as you follow teenaged boy Wolfgang, Pilgrim the talking horse, and Marie into a world full of danger, adventure, and personal struggles as he embarks on a quest to free his father and fight against evil. From vampires to fairies to talking horses, your imagination is set free by twisting plots and supernatural characters. The relationship between Wolfgang and Marie is particularly interesting; his feelings for her are strong but kept hidden as she's not human, and so the focus remains on adventure instead of romance.The descriptions and scenery are richly described, and the writing is skillful. Paetsch has a talent for writing well rounded and exciting characters who feel and sound real. Yes it's written for young adults but even if you're well past legal drinking age don't let that stop you. Ghost of Doors has certainly NOT been dumbed down, and will intrigue and captivate readers of all ages. I can't wait until the next in the series comes out!
