Behind The Door
Occult specialist Kathy Ryan returns in this thrilling novel of paranormal horror from Mary SanGiovanni, the author of Chills.
Some doors should never be opened . . .
In the rural town of Zarepath, deep in the woods on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, stands the Door. No one knows where it came from, and no one knows where it leads. For generations, folks have come to the Door seeking solace or forgiveness. They deliver a handwritten letter asking for some emotional burden to be lifted, sealed with a mixture of wax and their own blood, and slide it beneath the Door. Three days later, their wish is answered for better or worse.
Kari is a single mother, grieving over the suicide of her teenage daughter. She made a terrible mistake, asking the powers beyond the Door to erase the memories of her lost child. And when she opened the Door to retrieve her letter, she unleashed every sin, secret, and spirit ever trapped on the other side.
Now, it falls to occultist Kathy Ryan to seal the door before Zarepath becomes hell on earth . . .
Alex’s Teaser Review
I really liked the main character, occult specialist, Kathy Ryan. She was a strong lead and had a fun personality.

Lilyn’s Teaser Review
Mary SanGiovanni’s ‘Behind the Door‘ has tentacles, mayhem, and mystery. If that line doesn’t interest you, then you’re not the right audience for the book.

Did you read CHILLS?
Lilyn G
I did. I actually liked it a little bit better than this one.

I enjoyed this book and the first book Chill that featured Kathy Ryan.

I liked this one, but I think I actually liked Chills better.

I’ve heard good things about that one, too!

I hope to read this one in 2019. Tentacles!!

I think I liked that this one gave Kathy a little more “background”. In CHILLS, I felt like she was thrown in, and we never really got “anything” to go on… However, I still enjoyed that one, too.

Chills wasn’t my favorite,. I felt the characterization got the short of end of the stick a little to make way for all of the action but I am really looking forward to reading this one especially with the tentacle mentions 🙂

Personally, I thought this one had more “depth” to it as well.
