I've never seen a ghost and quite frankly I am not sure what I would do if I did.  I've watched the ghost hunting shows (I even DVR some of them so I can watch when the kiddos aren't around) and if I were in a dark room and heard a voice whisper something in my ear... I'm not quite sure I would still be standing in that room to ask it another question.The Waiting is a novella that will have you on the edge of your seat.  I couldn't put it down and read it in a few hours.  Every little sound in the house had me jumping.  The story is well written and the characters are developed exactly as we need them to be.  Often times, we see authors that try to put too much depth into a novella and the reader spends chapter after chapter reading about things that, while they give the reader imagery and characterization, have nothing to do with the story and then it seems as though the ending is rushed.  Hunter Shea does none of those things.  The story is well written and gives the reader exactly the information they need to know...and the ending... well, the ending wraps everything up quite nicely, but there are "loose ends" that leave the reader with that sense of dread that any good horror story should.Definitely 5 little bookie monsters on fire for The Waiting! My poor Kindle is going to explode one day.... I had to download a few more of Hunter Shea's stories...
