A snow storm and car trouble waylay the group in a small town - Frighton, Az. They end up at a nearby motel called Scarry Inn. Supposedly they are the only guests, but the teens get suspicious. Turns out the Scarry Inn really is a scary place....
Nice suspense. A simple, enjoyable plot. This sort of story has been done before many times, but I still enjoy reading scary stories about people stuck in bad situations during snow storms! Very entertaining. I think this story must be YA horror as there wasn't anything too over the top...and no sex, no cussing, no flying guts or anything too much.
I read this entire book while getting a pedicure at the local salon. Perfect length for easy reading. Good story, and some good scares. I will definitely read more by this author.

This book is SO good!! I started reading on my PC while doing laundry. Over the course of the day I had to switch from PC to my Iphone to my Ipad....back and forth technology hopping. I read while standing in line at the grocery.....in a parking lot waiting for my son to get off work.....as I folded laundry....even while cooking dinner. This story sucked me right in and kept me reading until the last word. Loved it!

Problems are mounting in an Australian ghost town. Tourists flock to Walhalla to see the old gold mine. The dark, often dangerous, mining tunnels and Problems are mounting in an Australian ghost town. Tourists flock to Walhalla to see the old gold mine. The dark, often dangerous, mining tunnels and the old buildings in town are a big draw, especially because almost every building in Walhalla is reportedly haunted. But, something else....something much more sinister lurks in the old mine. When two tourists disappear and a strange symbol is found, Detective Wellock calls in a friend -- Zack Bolder. Bolder is a priest who tackles cases involving supernatural forces. If anyone can get to the bottom of what's going on in Walhalla, it's Zack Bolder.....
What a creepy story! I enjoyed every word of it! I was in the mood for a supernatural horror story, and this book scratched that itch perfectly! Ghosts, demons, and murder....all in an old Australian mining town. It made the story even more interesting when I discovered that Walhalla and the Long Tunnel Mine are real places! Demon free, I hope!
A quick, very entertaining, creepy read! There are three books in the Zack Bolder series, with a fourth coming out soon! I have all three ebooks....so binge reading this series before the new book comes out! This is the first book by Janice Tremayne that I've read, and I'm definitely reading more of her writing! I've had a couple of her books and a short story on my ebook TBR for months....glad I finally started actually reading them!!
I love the cover art for this series! Definitely eye catching!
