This book...Thanks for the great review, Vivienne! <br /><br />This book sounds really good and spooky, perhaps a bit to much for someone who gets as easily scared as me LOL The one thing that puts me a bit off is the ambiguous ending, I like to have all the answers.<br /><br />Is this book first printed in 2009? The cover had me thinking it was an old book.Mari - Escape In A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597584812785465678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-78287730230239764812010-02-04T12:29:36.613+00:002010-02-04T12:29:36.613+00:00Wow, this sounds amazing, Viv.
