Gruseliges Familienerbe: Die vier Jugendlichen John, Katherine, Catriona und Roland müssen im neu bezogenen Haus miteinander auskommen, da ihre Eltern eine neue Beziehung eingegangen sind. Besonders die beiden Mädchen sind sich extrem feindselig gesinnt. Dann machen die Kinder eine gruselige Entdeckung nach der anderen. Sie finden verstümmelte Puppen, die zu leben scheinen und sie lernen unheimliche Personen kennen. In einem Spielzimmer finden sie Romane, aus denen Namen gestrichen wurden und im Wald spuken unheimliche Gestalten herum. Was haben die Mütter im unheimlichen Spiel damals aufgeweckt, was nun seine Opfergaben fordert? Zum Glück bleibt der jüngste der vier in der Realität und rettet am Ende seine Geschwister vor den Schatten der Vergangenheit. Der Roman ist anfangs spannend geschildert und gerade die Familienpsychologie ist authentisch dargestellt. Leider büsst die Geschichte gegen Schluss mehr und mehr an Glaubwürdigkeit ein und das Finale ist dann ein geradezu überschnelles Happyend. Ab 12 Jahren, **, Klemens Dossinger.
