Beware of aunts bearing gifts—

February 12th, 2007 Gregg - Sequoya

Meet Paul Skoglund.  Paul suffers from Tourette’s syndrome, but has it pretty well under control.  Unfortunately, it has caused him to be unemployed for some time. So when Paul’s aunt asks him to fix up her family home, which was recently vandalized, he jumps at the chance to make some money.  Good for Paul, right? 

Well…Paul’s aunt is a little creepy. Paul’s cousin (his aunt’s son) is even creepier. In the area where his aunt’s house is, a number of teens have gone missing.  Plus, when Paul gets to the house, it becomes apparent that the damage to the house is far more than just simple vandalism. 

Skull session by Daniel Hecht was a great thriller, it had me turning  pages late into the night. I had a slight problem with the ending (didn’t really buy into the explanation), but really enjoyed the book.
