I already commented on this review when it was published, but I wanted to give the author congratulations on having the Book of the Day! I don't usually care for books with a supernatural theme because I get the creeps. :) Still, this one seems intriguing, especially with an interesting main character and humorous dialogue.

Sounds intense and spooky! A haunted house and an incubus! Talk about not sleeping for a week! I downloaded it, but I think I'll wait to read it when I'm not alone! :D Excellent review!

This is a fantastic review. Just downloaded! I enjoy a good horror movie but never read a horror book! Now I am inclined to do so...Thanks!

An interesting well written review that gives the reader a fair account of what to expect with flaws and strengths. I'm not generally into paranormal, but this peaked my interest.

I am not into paranormal stuff...I don't watch anything related to horror,neither the tv series nor the movies..I feel that however you introduce the theme - horror,it always has the same follow up of incidents - an isolated house,a frightened person...reading the review made me feel like the protagonist has something similar to the hulk- in a way that both seem to understand that there are inexplicable changes in their body,and yet they seem to enjoy it ..and the usual psychic and the two experts..just a thrill ride, not one that I am particularly interested in

Thanks for the objective and detailed review! This really sounds like one I will like. I've read some pretty graphic and cringe worthy horror novels so I doubt I'll bat an eye at that aspect.

This is a very insightful review! I love paranormal mysteries and this book seems to be right up my alley! The thought of reading past, as well as present, intrigues me as I love reading backstories. Can't wait to read this for myself!

Great review! This book sounds great, I love all things paranormal, definitely checking this one out. Thanks for the heads up about the stilted writing, sometimes that can pop me right out of the story.

Great review. I'm all for creepy and mysterious and that it's fast-paced is even more enticing. I really do love paranormal horror in the fall so this is perfect for the time of year. The cons sound like stuff that wouldn't get in the way of my total enjoyment either so that's positve too.

Great review, Gali! Thanks for sharing. :) I'm a coward when it comes to horror - only watching movies when someone is with me - so I probably not want to read this. I'm actually only here to say that I enjoyed reading your review. :D

Excellent job on the review. I've only read the first few pages but I've also noticed issues with run on sentences and such. Hopefully the author can get those errors sorted out.
