I finished reading this book last night and I wanted to share it with you today. This book was a little different because it was a comic book and a novel all rolled into one. But that didn’t hinder the story any….it actually worked really well (or at least I thought so). The story follows a girl, Denise, who moves back to Louisiana after a storm destroyed everything and killed part of her family. She begins experiencing strange things in the house after her and a friend finds a comic book in the attic. What’s even spookier is some of the things in the comic book is actually starting to happen in real life in the house. It’s up to Denise and her friends to figure things out before it’s too late.
Synopsis: Denise Farber has just moved back to New Orleans with her mom and step-dad. They left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and have finally returned, wagering the last of their family’s money on fixing up an old, rundown house and converting it to a bed and breakfast.
Nothing seems to work around the place, which doesn’t seem too weird to Denise. The unexplained noises are a little more out of the ordinary, but again, nothing too unusual. But when floors collapse, deadly objects rain down, and she hears creepy voices, it’s clear to Denise that something more sinister lurks hidden here.
Answers may lie in an old comic book Denise finds concealed in the attic: the lost, final project of a famous artist who disappeared in the 1950s. Denise isn’t budging from her new home, so she must unravel the mystery-on the pages and off-if she and her family are to survive…
