The Curse of Misty Wayfair

4.5 stars
Wow, such an enthralling story! Lots of crazy shadows in this one, and freaky, inexplicable happenings. Can a place really be haunted? Do ghosts really walk in the mists of midnight?

Both eras flow together well in this story as two different heroines, past and present, try to find out what secret holds the town in bondage and as they face different questions about their heritage and parents. Both Thea and Heidi discover strange things about the local mental asylum and have terrifying encounters with the legendary Misty Wayfair, leading them to search for answers: surely ghosts and curses aren't in the realm of reality, right? The evidence definitely seems to suggest so. What's the truth? And who is desperate to cover it up?

This is not a book to read if you're wanting to sleep at night. It's not the book to read if you're afraid of the dark or if you are home alone. It's the perfect book to snuggle up with under a warm blanket on a rainy day. I dare you to set it down when you've once picked it up!
