"DADDY, YOU NEED TO CHECK FOR GHOSTS."
I paused in the doorway of my daughter's bedroom, startled in the way that all parents get when their child says something confounding. Since Maggie was five, I suppose I should have been used to it. I wasn't. Especially with a request so unexpectedly odd.
"I do?"
"Yes, Maggie said, insistent. I don't want them in my room."
What do you think, pass or read more?
I'm not familiar with this author but the book looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat would freak me out too!! I'd probably go... why don't you just come to my room and we'll both get some sleep lol (Assuming I was about to step right into a ghostly/horror film...)
ReplyDeleteToday I am sharing a Tuesday Teaser here.
Oh, I've been noticing this one, and the opening lines are catchy. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't read many scary books... will wait to hear what you think of this.
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty interesting, creepy.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice and author, Diane!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't really do it for me, Diane, but I lost my taste for horror a few years ago and it never came back. So it's probably just me.
ReplyDeleteI would pass, but I'm not a scary-book reader.
ReplyDeleteI never read anything by this author but the intro intrigues me. I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds creepy and this is an author I've been wanting to read!
ReplyDeleteDifficult but I'd still want to know more.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed most of Riley's books so I'm definitely adding this onto my list.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this! (I hope there really are ghosts!) I've heard so many good things about this author, but haven't had a chance to dive in yet.
