They wanted a fresh start. They got a nightmare.Kylie Macklin is eager to live a normal life. Freshly moved from Florida to Alabama and finally in remission from cancer, the optimistic nine-year-old is used to dodging her overprotective mom’s warnings. So when a new playmate invites her to hang out, the happy girl thinks nothing of the playground being located in a graveyard for young victims of the Spanish Flu… and a local serial killer.Kayla Macklin hates starting over. Forced to relocate after her little sister’s recovery, the sullen nineteen-year-old despises her new home more when she sees a terrifying vision in the nearby crypt. And as kids around town start to fall gravely ill, she begins to suspect there is something sinister at play.Tormented by a frightening specter’s ever-closer appearances, Kylie turns to her older sibling for help. But as Kayla digs into the history of the haunted ground, the twisted truths she discovers hint at a bloodthirst that can never be sated.Can they face down the malevolent force without tripping in their own graves?

    • Fantastic Ghost Story
I love a good ghost story and this book hit the mark! Lots of creepy goings on in this story. The characters well developed, the setting well described, good detail to the story and let me say I def had a chilly feeling during some of it. Very well written, kept me wanting to keep reading chapter after chapter. ... show more

    • Loved it!
Well-written and enjoyable! What I liked: The overall plot. Very grabbing. What I didn’t like: That epilogue. Should have stopped reading before I got to it. Can’t people have a happy ending? (I took a half star off just for that…) What will stick with me: The way the story was composed. For a book about “hoodoo” and demons and ghost children, it wasn’t completely unbelievable to follow. ... show more

    • Ridiculously good story
This book is great! A real live horror story--, ghosts, blood & guts (but not too much), hoodoo spells, and young girls as the main characters. In touch with reality, but not afraid to step out of the real word. Exciting, sucked me into even though there was a favorite program on TV. Yes, I have become a Kaine-iac! Ready for more. ... show more

    • Judge this book by the cover and be rewarded with a unique narrative
A good read topped off with a great ending, or at least one that was fitting given all that happened up to that point. The twists and turns were well written and makes the cover art stand out well after the fact.

    • Good book.
I enjoyed the book. It was entertaining, and the characters were very well put together. I love supernatural horror stories! I don't think, the kids, and I will go to Huntsville, Alabama any time soon. LOL!!

    • I got married in Maple Hill Cemetery.
True story. I got married in Maple Hill Cemetery, which obviously houses the real life Dead Children’s Playground. Amazon pushed this to me the day it came out, but I held off on reading it out of fear that I would hate a fictionalized story of a place I care about. I was wrong. James did a great job adding new, more interesting, pieces to the already existing folklore and rumors surrounding Maple Hill. I actually liked the ending— I see other people didn’t. Overall, a solid, enjoyable read! I am sad to say however, that a few months back, a storm did drop out of nowhere and damaged the cemetery and the park. They’ve been repairing it since. ... show more

    • Insert spooky giggles
Overall a great read was expecting more story about the raincoat. Props on the ending didn't see that coming. Really enjoyed the terror that was in this book. Looking forward to the next one!
