I purchased this book in a two for one sale. It does not have the silly supernatural qualities that so many formula books have today. i cannot give it five stars as the descriptive sex scenes between teenagers in the early chapters was totally unnecessary. It truly added nothing to the story that could not have been conveyed otherwise. Also, in this day and age the N word should never be used, once again it did nothing to enhance the story. The character was just a grumpy old man. Enough said!
