The quant, coastal tourist town of Ocean Shores, Washington has one neighborhood that hides a dark secret. By day, Arial Street looks like any other neighborhood, lined with small colonial homes with well manicured lawns. Black tailed deer roam freely, allowing neighborhood children to feed them by hand and all the neighbors are friendly. However, at night, under the cover of darkness and Pacific Northwest drizzle, fiendish things happen and tourists go missing.

Christian Brown and his family are new in town. Christian's fear of being the proverbial new kid at school is quickly replaced by his fear of what might lay in store for him and his family when his new neighbor Jordan informs him of the activities his neighbors participate in when no one is looking... killing All of the residents on Arial Street, Jordan claims, are copy cat serial killers, mimicking the actions of some of our nation's most notorious fiends, to include the Zodiac Killer, the Hillside Strangler, the Green River Killer, Jeffrey Dauhmer, Ed Gein, the D.C. Snipers and local legend Billy Goul.

Does Jordan just posses an over active imagination or is there truth to his accusations? He and Christian must race against the clock, gathering evidence of their neighbors' actions in order to go to the authorities. The whole while, the handsome ring leader of the group, Ted Grundy, the possible copy cat of none other than Ted Bundy has his eyes set on Christian's attractive single mother Carol. Are Christian, his mother and his little sisters Emily and Olivia safe? You decide if things are as innocent as they appear by day on Arial Street, or if it should indeed be called as Jordan refers to it due to his neighbors' alleged actions by night, Serial Street

Thanks to Kevin Lake for introducing me to quite the creepiest neighborhood on the planet! And for making me look at my own neighbors a little differently... All kidding aside, this is a terrific read. The characters are three-dimensional and very believable, especially Christian as the skeptical teenaged hero. His life was turned upside down and sideways by his parents divorce, and to make it worse he was forced to live in a place they had only ever been with his father. The only thing worse than watching his mother start dating an overly charming handsome stranger was the fact that the neighborhood weirdo, Jordan, warned him against almost everyone on Ariel Street. Slowly, Christian finds that his neighbors may very well be as dangerous as his new friend Jordan claims, copycats of some of the most dangerous serial killers in history. The level of intrigue and suspense ratchets up even further as the neighbors begin to settle on their next targets - Jordan, Christian and their families. Lake paints a picture with setting, capturing the damp lushness of seaside Washington, and use that as a theme throughout the story. The sights, the smells, the feeling of the cold Northwest drizzle, the souds of the deep woods all add texture to your superb storytelling. This is one of the best young adult mysteries I have read in a long time, and I could envision a return to Serial Street to help Christian, Jordan, Becca, Kristen and the rest keep the world safe from their neighbors. I truly enjoyed this fantastic book, and you will, too. Who knows, the neighbors may even want to borrow it... Ron Adams Author of LAKE EFFECT and KEY LIME SQUEEZE
