This is Sarah Pinborough's fifth book and for me personally it is her best: suspenseful and creepy.
She colorful describes all the changes in the towns people and brought me to really liking the main character Liz and her spirit. It is Good against Evil beautifully crafted by one of the rare female horror-suspense writers. Good one !

Sarah Pinborough is a great writer of horror and thrills all the way through, right up with the best!!
Where do I start. Just not good, was really really confusing from the start. I found it had to believe the same person wrote. Breeding Ground and Feeding Ground. I guess killing a priest at a Burger King was not a good idea. Then for the next couple of chapters she rambles on about these lame college kids. I kept waiting for the conection that never came. I was into chapter five when I just gave up on this book.
