The house at Black Creek Crossing in the town of Roundtree, MA is very old, looks a little rundown, but has a certain charm to it that draws Angel and her family to it. With an alcoholic father and a neglectful mother, Angel never seems to fit in anywhere. Moving to this new town and house will give her a new start and a chance to make friends, or will it? Well, Angel does make a new friend at school and Seth is just like her; he doesnt fit in either. Who better to become friends? With the help of a now-you-see-him-now-you-dont cat Angel calls Houdini, Angel and Seth set out to try to make sense of the strange goings-on at the new house.

This is a typical John Saul book, with some twists thrown in. I found myself rooting for Angel and Seth. A good read that will capture the reader from the very first chapter.
