This is the last book to the series. IT WAS AMAZING... except for the ending:
Scott: My dads dead, remember?
Z: Is he?
Seriously?! I NEED MORE THAN THAT. Maybe if I go and bang my head against the wall hard enough, Myers will promise to write another Forbidden Door Book.
So, yes. This is the last book to the series. No more Scott. No more Ryan. No more Phillip...excuse me while I go cry and then bang my head against wall.

This book gets four-stars for the last page alone.
*Major Spoilers*
So... Is the final sentence referring to how Mr. Williams is still alive, but in Heaven? Or is he still alive on earth? And if he is, why is he allowing Mrs. Williams and the kids to live on thinking he's dead? Is Z actually Mr. Williams? If so, why the charade? Honestly, the ending left me with more questions than not and felt like the start to another story or a sequel-series, not a climax.
I wished the ending hadn't have been so rushed. I would like to know what happens to Philip and Krissi, both personally and a couple. It seemed a little odd that a) Julie and Darryl were nowhere to be found for the finale and b) that all of a sudden Scott and Philip are best friends. The second just didn't fit with what the other books led you to believe (that Darryl was Scott's only friend in the books and that he only knew the others because of Becka).
Overall though, it was a very good book!

may be a children's series, but definitely keeps your interest!
great way to introduce your children to the occult, and how/why you need to stay away from them.
de'Alyse and i both read this, and are now trying to track down the rest of the series (we didn't know it was a series when she first picked it up), so we can see how this all started!

Good book, but not for younger kids. It is a bit scary at times, along with the others in the series
