This is the first book in the
“Zodiac Cusp Kids” Young Adult series that will appeal to adults as well. We
follow three junior high friends – Angie, Jenny, and David – as they battle the
supernatural in 1980’s Lincoln, NE. Think “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” except
that our heroes are in junior high (but I’m betting we’ll follow them on into
high school).
A well-written, fast-paced story
as, in this story, the three teens encounter an otherworldly demon. The reader
is quickly pulled into the tale in this page-turner that you can’t put down. No
need to be familiar with Lincoln, NE to enjoy the story.
Nine books are planned in this
series with the third one just recently published. Start with this title then
follow in order Something
Haunted and Something Lost.
[If
you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Niceville, by Carsten Stroud, the first in a trilogy. Note,
this is a more intense novel of the supernatural but a page-turner as well]
