Beware the River

Middle School Haunts #1

by Kitty Margo

Thirteen year old country boy BJ has no idea why a ghost has suddenly chosen to torment his every waking minute. He only knows one thing for certain and that is the fact that the evil creature is determined to send him to an early and watery grave. BJ's two best friends, concerned with his frequent and terrifying hallucinations, (one believes strongly in the supernatural and one doesn't) decide that a camping trip to the river is in order. They have two goals for the weekend. One is to catch a mess of catfish, and the other is to prove to BJ once and for all the the ghostly happenings are only the workings of his overactive imagination. Unfortunately, in the stillness of a dark, sultry night, they come face to face with "the evil that lurks" and vow to never doubt their best fiend again.

About the author

Kitty Margo grew up in a small North Carolina town nestled between the Pee Dee and Rocky Rivers. She began writing when her children were small. Having too many interests to stick to one genre, she has written books for the YA, historical romance, and women's fiction audience.
Kitty has three amazing sons and four completely adorable grandchildren. She enjoys cruises with her girlfriends, traveling to historic destinations, reading, visits to Myrtle Beach and Charleston, SC, and spending time with her grandchildren.
She still lives in her North Carolina town with her youngest son, a song writing and beat making wizard, so there is never a dull, or quiet, moment.

a refreshing change of pace for me. after reading so many romance novels I had all but forgot about others genres. Beware the River is a well written fast passed story. and believe me when I say that if a red eyed ghost buffalo appears to me, more than once to! I would wet myself more than just one time!

This book had a good premise and a lot of awesome things could have been done with it, but I felt the story was under developed. It seemed more like a polished first draft than a fully realized novel.
