This was a chilling supernatural tale, although it did follow the predictable formula of the non believing doctor wanting to prescribe medications, and the priest who is losing his faith before turning into a hero. I still enjoyed it. Cassie was an average girl, up until she lost her dad. Before that, as the coach's daughter she liked to watch the games, and was friendly with the players. Things changed for Cassie after his death, and she took up with a different crowd. Dying her hair black and dressing Goth and getting into trouble. Cassie's new friends don't just look the part, they are playing with Satanism and Cassie is along for the ride.
After a car crash something is different. Cassie was dead before they miraculously revived her but something evil from beyond the grave wants her back.

My second time around with this book was just as downright spooky as the first time I read it!

A little backstory for you readers:

Cassie Stevens just wants to be a normal teenager, but when she hooks up with the Goth crowd (Seth, Sylvia, and Trish) her life takes a dramatic turn and she goes down a dangerous path of destruction.

When Cassie along with her new friends end up in a car crash, things become bad for Cassie as she doesn't realize it, but she had died for a few minutes and when she came back she was not "alone" as she brought something back with her that sends her life reeling out of control.

The personality changes that start occurring with Cassie make her mother seek out psychiatric help, but there is no cure for what is happening to Cassie. When the Catholic church gets involved things take a turn for the worse for all involved which causes a chain of deathly events.

Once again I was captured by the feelings of all the characters involved and the storyline just took on an ominous dread the more I became involved in the story!

The author, Tom Lewis, has a unique writing style that draws the reader into the story and keeps them entranced through the whole book to the end. The pace of the book builds momentum from the first chapter to the last which makes this book an easy read.

This book is very spooky and it will delve down into your psyche, so it is best to leave the lights on with this book as the darkness might close in around you while you are reading this book! Five "scare the pants off" stars!… (mehr)
