The author, Clare McNally, grabs the reader from the first chapter then takes the reader on a journey into the creepy zone!

The second book to the Van Buren saga of ghosts in the house continues with another bad entity roaming the halls. This entity is more terrifying then the previous one that the Van Burens encountered in the first book.

The Van Burens thought their nightmare was over and the house finally felt like a "home". But they were very wrong as an evil ghost named "Janice" has come to take revenge on them. When things start happening in the house, they try to lay aside their fears and they just think that the house is settling or they try to make excuses for what is happening around them. Little do they know that "Janice" is there causing havoc and she would like nothing better than to see the whole family dead. As the terror escalates, the family tries to figure out why the ghost means them harm, and when they finally figure out what the ghost wants, the family has to come together to keep their sanity and to protect each other.

The book moves at a fast pace and I couldn't hardly put it down. It takes off in the first chapter and keeps rolling along to the last chapter! I stayed up one night reading it till near 2:00 a.m. Very atmospheric and has creepy tones throughout the whole book! I would finish one chapter and wanted to keep reading the next chapter to see what happens next!

Though it is not a "leave the light on" kind of book, it did draw me into the book and kept me intrigued all the way to the end. Four stars for this one. ( )

In McNally’s horror novel, the Van Buren family continues to reside in the beautiful mansion now that it’s free of the ancient ghost that pined for Melanie’s love. But the Van Buren’s now face a modern-day spirit more evil and intimidating than the original ghost and it will take Melanie and Gary working together to keep their children out of harm’s way.

Imaginative and nerve racking! ( )
