About book The Summer We Lost Alice (2012)

A little bit mystery, a little bit paranormal, and a little bit thriller made this book one that was hard to put down. The author did a great job building the background in the first part of the book and the characters were easy to like and imagine. One of the things I liked about the book was the use of humor and the way the author created relationships that didn't feel forced. A fun read that kept me up late a couple of nights. I quite enjoyed this book, especially the beginning, with the two children, Ethan and Alice and their family matters. Fair enough that young kids could believe in witches....(what, nowadays???). Ethan's profession in later life had nothing to do with contacting the dead, really. So the attempt to introduce the supernatural was really out of place for me. You can still enjoy the read, but I wish the author would re-write it without people "coming back".
