Winnie Flynn doesn’t believe in ghosts. And if she did there is only one ghost she would care to see, her mother. After finding her mother dead from an apparent suicide, she is introduced to her aunt Maggie, a high profile TV producer who wants her to spend the summer working as a production assistant on her current reality hit, “Fantastic, Fearsome.” The show is set in New Jersey, a place her mother never took her and never wanted to go to. New Jersey’s famous devil is perfect for Maggie’s show. There are secrets that Winnie is trying to figure out and the more she digs the less that she likes what she finds and those around her. She sees and hears things that make her think that the Devil might not be totally fake after all. Things that involve her and her family. Things that might explain why she’s never met Aunt Maggie until now. Her family’s history is entwined with the Devil’s. If she is going to make it out alive she might have to start believing in what her aunt is telling her, and discover the secrets everyone else is trying to keep from her.This is not a novel I would typically pick up and read, but I have to say I did enjoy the story. Even though this is labeled as a teen novel, I wouldn’t recommend this for a young audience. The reason is not for the fear factor, not once was I scared by what I was reading. I was put off by the harsh language, especially towards the end. Several aspects of the story were hard for me to believe. Why would Winnie’s father be ok with sending her off for the summer with someone she had never met? And why would Winnie herself be ok with it? I can understand wanting a change after a tragedy but this wasn’t very believable for me. Along with that, I wasn’t very intrigued by very many of the characters.
