The Killer's Cousin

by Nancy Werlin

Summary: Seventeen year old David has quite a past. His parents simply can't deal with the stress his mistake has caused him, and send him to live with his aunt and uncle and their daughter, Lily, in Massachusetts. His aunt is disgusted by what he has done, and doesn't want him there. This is the definition of a dysfunctional family. The aunt and uncle refuse to speak to each other, keep David separate in an upstairs room that used to belong to their eldest daughter (now tragically dead), and allow Lily to torture him. To make matters worse, David is pretty sure his room is haunted.

My thoughts: Lily is a creepy, creepy little kid. You'll definitely keep reading just to find out what is wrong with this child. Werlin also reveals what David did in his past piece by piece, and you'll want to know what happened and how, which isn't fully revealed until the end. If you're looking for a full on ghost story, this isn't it, but the hint of the supernatural will give you a chill!
