 <\/p>\n

A sinister tale of suspense\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The graveyard in the dreary fictional town conceals some creepy secrets in Cates\u2019s debut, a dark tale of suspense. The great graveyard is off limit as for as the children know, but Dalton, the teenager leader of Danger Seekers Club, seeks thrill more than anything. Malana, the ancient witch, needs help to fulfill an evil prophecy. Unaware of Malana\u2019s sinister plan, Dalton decides to take the treasure map, agreeing to Malana\u2019s condition of paying any price for the deal in the future. The members of Danger Seekers Club set on to find the hidden treasure with the help of the map unaware of the evil forces waiting ahead while Malana wants Dalton to pay his debt. The time period in the novel is ambiguous, creating an unsettling ambiance when combined with the story\u2019s atmospheric setting as Cates\u2019s uncanny descriptions of the fictional town turn it into a character in itself. The narrative seems to lose its threads at times with too much emphasis on nitty-gritty of characters\u2019 daily lives, but the tension stays high with sinister twists and a regular dose of anticipation while the intriguing storyline successfully keeps the pages turning. Cates\u2019s characterization is solid: Dalton\u2019s gradual transformation is portrayed skillfully, the Danger Seekers Club\u2019s adventure-filled missions surge with a prickly energy, and the dark forces in the narrative seem to be the stuff of bad dreams. Spooky and unsettling at times, the novel will please children (12 year or older) interested in dark fiction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
