I'd like to read the sequel, but haven't gotten around to it yet.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-47031683833375625462017-04-05T08:37:49.075-05:002017-04-05T08:37:49.075-05:00Too bad it didn't fully utilize location.

I used to read it a lot, but the last few years I just haven't. I'm sorry this wasn't a total hit for you.<br /><br />I also really love the Biltmore, although I haven't been there in years.Quinn @ Quinn's Book Nookhttp://quinnsbooknook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-72296870317030707442017-04-04T14:17:35.106-05:002017-04-04T14:17:35.106-05:00I've been wanting to read this one.

I am glad you liked it overall, although it sounds like it could have been much better. Especially the first half of the book.

I liked Neil's more but I agree about it darkness being a bit scary for kids. Jellybean only read it during the day.

I don't read enough of it. I recently read The Secret of Owen Jester and that's a good one as well. This one does sound like it has a creepy premise and I like creepy forests but in this case, yeah it sounds like the Biltmore itself could have been utilized more.
