This is a ghost/fantasy book. The two children are sent stay with their Aunt. However there is a danger that no one tells them about until it becomes too late. The book is a captivating tale which explores the relationship of sisters and adults fear of trusting children with the truth when actually children are more likely to believe them.
The book is completely absorbing I read it whilst doing everything else including cooking tea as I could not put it down.
I was however left with the worry at the end as you never find out who will take care of the two girls in the end. You are also left wondering whether this is the end as the power of the ghost and the witchcraft behind him suggest there is no possible way to destroy it. I could imagine this book being made into a fantastic atmospheric film.
This will be a great book for those teenage girls who are drawn to the vampire love stories but provides a more interesting and challenging read in which you cannot predict the outcomes and instead have to keep reading. I have already lent it to a friend to see what they think.
