3.5 stars rounded up to 4. A standard tale of haunting with "good bones".

This book would make for a perfect "Netflix Adaption". It is a standard ghost/haunting tale centered around a house and malevolent spirits. Nothing new or original other than the location and the names. I did enjoy the book, but it was good not great.

The characters were great, and the setting was perfect for the story. I am familiar with the area so that was fun. The main protagonist was well written for the part he played. In fact, all of the characters fall into this description. I was rather disappointed in the inclusion of a minor character who looked significantly older than her reported age. I feel the author had a desire to elaborate or elude to something here, but it was never brought to fruition. This story is #1 in a series of 2 (at the time of this writing) and the second book involves a new family in the same home, so I am hoping to hear a little more about this character. Here's to hoping!

As for the story, I have said a few times it was nothing special. That doesn't mean there aren't aspects of this book that were great. It is well written, the story is complete and I really enjoyed the ending. I am looking forward to the sequel and furthering this story of 889 Morgan Rd.
