The Agony House by Cherie Priest

The Agony House

by Cherie Priest

Denise Farber has just moved back to New Orleans with her mom and step-dad, wagering the last of their family's money on fixing up an old, rundown house and converting it to a bed and breakfast. But when floors collapse, deadly objects rain down, and she hears creepy voices, it's clear to Denise that something sinister lurks hidden here.

I picked this for the Halloween display at the book store I work for. It's new, and will be a great addition for those who like YA titles. It's interesting, and the graphic portions of the story definitely enhance the written portions. There were a couple of bits that felt a tad bit...preachy...but they didn't take away from the overall story. My daughter is already asking to read it!

Note: For those who care about such things (like me), if you buy the HB version and don't wait for pb to come out...there are PRETTIES under the dust jacket.
