The Crossroads: A Haunted Mystery by Chris Grabenstein


The Crossroads is a good enough book. The storyline is simple, the story has just the right amount of suspense , action and ghosts.

There are A LOT of characters and it takes a bit of an effort to keep them all straight. I found the book enjoyable yet, I won't be reading the sequel(s) since the character's or storyline aren't very memorable for me.

Grade: B-


Synopsis

ZACK, HIS DAD, and new stepmother have just moved back to his father s hometown, not knowing that their new house has a dark history. Fifty years ago, a crazed killer caused an accident at the nearby crossroads that took 40 innocent lives.

During a huge storm, lightning hits the tree, releasing the spirit, who decides his evil spree isn t over . . . and Zack is directly in his sights.
