Review
"I enjoyed the relationships of the story; Madeline and her son, Norman, are a great pair, and the friendships those two and the younger daughter find with their new neighbors are well done. The relationship of Madeline and the debonair new stranger to town is an integral part of the story, but I would have liked to see the actual romance angle of the story developed more fully. I would probably term KACHIMA SPIRIT more a paranormal horror story than a paranormal romance, what with the decapitated heads and blood stains on the wall; but as a lover of horror, when it's all said and done, I enjoyed the story." --
