Publisher Comments:

Seeking shelter from a fierce Texas storm, four teens are trapped inside a strange house as unwitting players in a magician's evil games. The phone goes dead. A plaster head suddenly appears. A disembodied hand taps the mantel. Then the magic turns even more sinister, leading inevitably toward murder.

This is a great book! This is a very easy book to read because of its " page-turning suspense," I truly enjoyed this book. It consists of things lurking in the dark along hallways and of course...deadly magic. If you choose to read this freaky book I'm sure you will like it.
