Oh my God!

This is the best book I've read in a very long time. I love all of Amy's books but this one really scores big.

Devil's Briar is a lost ghost town. Don't go there! I can't even begin to explain this story so you'll have to take a chance and read it for yourself.

Very hard for me to find a novel that I seriously cannot figure out. I'm still left with questions, but in a good way! Very creepy moments and reminds me of Stephen King.
