FINALLY! Finally it’s happened to me. A book where the creepy relationship is played out as exactly that. Oh, friends, the heavens must have opened and sung a beautiful song while Deb Caletti wrote Stay, because this book straight up gets it. It gets that bad relationships are bad. Obsessive relationships are scary, not sexy. […]
Book Review: The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn
April 4, 2011
I would classify The Ghost Of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn as historical fiction horror. The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall is a very brief middle grade book chock full of orphans, servants, a mean old lady, and a ghost. 12 year old Florence’s parents died in a boating accident when she was very young.

I thought The Dark And Hollow Places showed real maturity in writing. It feels like Ryan has hit her stride […]

March 18, 2011
