The Gates of Evangeline by Hester Young
5.0
4.5 stars! I loved reading this book; I was totally sucked in and intrigued by the mystery, and even the supernatural elements didn't bother me. (I'm usually not much for supernatural stories.) I considered dropping this book down to four stars because I thought the big "mystery" was pretty obvious and I was practically shaking the book trying to get Charlie to PAY ATTENTION to the clues, but there was enough else going on that even though I knew what was going to happen, I still couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Also, as Gabrielle Zevin once wrote: "Is a twist that you can't predict symptomatic of bad construction?" I think the fact that I would still recommend this book despite its predictability speaks to how good it is! I will definitely be reading the next novel Hester Young publishes. :)
