Thirteen-year-old Angel Sullivan falls in love with her family's new home - the house that stands at Black Creek Crossing in the small town of Roundtree, Massachusetts. But the idyll is soon shattered as Angel learns a shocking secret about the house. It seems that a double murder took place there, and no one has lived at Black Creek Crossing since.
As Angel and her family begin to confront the mounting perils in their new dwelling, increasingly bizarre events occur in Roundtree: terrible storms strike; seemingly inexplicable "accidents" transpire; and rumors of witchcraft, a phenomenon that figured in the town's history hundreds of years earlier, begin to resurface...
Thirteen-year-old Angel Sullivan and her troubled parents move to a small town in Massachusetts. The house they move into has a tumultuous past, which manifests itself as ghostly apparitions that affect the lives of Angel, her family, and her new friends. The story is as much about teenaged outcasts and the horrors of sexual abuse as it is about ghosts. Dick Hill portrays a realistic Angel while adding tension to the horrifying ghost scenes. All in all, this is a very satisfying ghost story with much to say about being a teen. S.D. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
