This is a fast-moving, creepy tale of mobsters, ghosts, and love gone crazy. An excellent second inclusion in the Abbadon Inn series. Highly recommended...and stay out of the basement!

This is pretty much just your run of the mill haunted house horror book..

Probably a little scarier then the first book in the trilogy but way too many things left unanswered or not explained..

For instance.... 'The eyes came toward her very quickly. She screamed when she saw that they weren't eyes after all'... OK..... what were they?

Also, towards the end of the book a character pops up that you HAVE heard about, but since they where supposed to be 90 miles away, you're not sure whether they are really there, or if it is an hallucination.

Finally, after describing how properties close to the ocean tend to harbor more ghosts because of drownings a ship wrecks, a ghost shows up that has absolutely no connection to anything at the house, but is just a relative if one of the characters..... Yeah it makes the book a little scarier, but I like my horror books to have some sort of cohesiveness.. This one doesn't...

So again, an average horror book, just don't expect anything that you haven't seen or read before...

I expected it to be a little more interesting...this sort of reminded me of that Stephen King mini-series "Rose Red." Had some scary parts, but it never really delved into the original history of the house. The first book was the same way...lots of important details missing. Average read...not so scary I couldn't read it at night.
