Black Annis

The Shadowing Book 2:  Skinned was a long time a coming for me.  I loved the first book and whipped through it in no time, just like I did with this second offering.  Callum is the last of the Chime Children and it is his job to keep the demons from the Netherworld from taking over the world.  But there is an evil coven of humans trying to bring the demons on out.  It's up to Callum, his friend Melissa, his Gran and a ghost boy and ghost dog to stop it all from happening.
In this book the coven is trying to sacrifice the beast Black Annis, who kills children and eats them.  Sounds like Allegheny County Foster Care, doesn't it?  But it isn't as scary because it is fiction.  Still it is very scary.  And very good.  And I love Callum very much!

EXCELLENT start to a series

Or it would be an excellent stand-alone that would just leave you wanting more, more, more. This is the kind of horror that Dean Koontz should be writing nowadays. Great book, even though it is not set in the US, which is always my preference for a book, but I didn't even care that this one was set in England or somewhere else, I have no idea, but it didn't matter. The Shadowing #1 Hunted was so so good! It was scary and original and had sympathetic characters. Great stuff. I can't wait for the next one!

Also I am going to link my books to Good Reads now. I LOVE libraries, obviously, but libraries really need to work on their online catalogs. What is the deal, anyway?
