I was intrigued by this book because it is based on local lore and real places in my hometown. I grew up with all the urban legends associated with Kali Oka Road, some are covered here and some aren't, There are many so the author chose selectively which would be the basis of this tale. As a teenager I avoided Kali Oka Road (I still do) and fortunately I rarely had occasion to travel that part of town. This starts in 1983 with a scary event and goes to present day and a young woman's supernatural experience taking her back to another century in the past. She finds her way to a Gulf Coast Paranormal meeting seeking answers to what is happening. I enjoyed it but I didn't feel the ending was complete. It leaves us with some unanswered questions and seemed a little rushed in the wrapping up of the ghost story. Perhaps we will get more answers as this series goes along. I do think it has potential and I will read more because it is fun reading for me.
