All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn

All the Lovely Bad Ones
By: Mary Downing Hahn
4 STARS

Travis and his sister Corey decide to boost business at their grandmother's Vermont inn by staging a few "hauntings" that soon draw tourists from across the country, but when their antics awaken a dark force, they must find a way to put to rest the ghosts
they have disturbed.

I will admit that at the beginning I wasn't a fan of the two main characters because I thought they were very impish and immature for their age. Once the ghosts were "awakened" however, I was pulled into the story and started rooting for the main characters in their quest to help the shadow children and completely rid the property of the dark force. This book kept me interested and wasn't over the top scary, in fact, I read most of it in the dark by book light on a drive home from out of town. It has a mystery feel to it but it is certainly a ghost story and a read worth picking up.
