The Night Sister is a creepy read

If you didn’t yet get a chance to read my blog post on Personal Power in Fiction, you might want to head over and pick up a few new reads. Personal Power is a theme that runs through many of my books; characters lacking in power and finding their power and ability to effect change.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

I picked up this week’s read, The Night Sister, from the mystery shelf without realizing that it is classified as “ghost suspense,” so I was a little surprised with the direction that it went in, but that didn’t detract from the book. I still found it quite interesting and engaging. If you are the type who loves to share creepy ghost stories around the campfire, this might just be the book for you.

Good description, mood, and advancement of the plot. It will keep you guessing as you gradually put together the pieces to get a clear picture. I don’t think that I’ve read anything by Jennifer McMahon before, but it looks like she has a number of books in this genre, so if it is something you enjoy, there is more to choose from.

If only Amy could travel back in time, talk to those two girls, warn them what was coming. Warn them that one day, it would all lead to this moment: Amy alone and out of options, on the verge of doing something terrible.
