Darkness, My Old Friend


Although this isn't a sequel, you will recognize some characters if you read Unger's book titled Fragile, which also took place in a small town called The Hollows. I listened to this book on CD and enjoyed it a lot. Jones Cooper is now a former cop. He has had a hard time defining this part of his life. He has been doing a lot of odd jobs for his neighbors when they are gone - feeding pets, letting workmen into the house, watering the plants, etc. One day he receives a visit from psychic Eloise Montgomery who shares with him a vision she saw. Jones is not impressed with her supposed "gift".
Michael Holt grew up in The Hollows. He returns after the death of his father because he wants to find out answers about his mother who disappeared when he was a child.
Willow Graves is a suffering 15 year old. After a divorce from her step-father, her mom has ripped her from NYC to this place because she thought Willow needed to start over. Now she has one friend - and she is always getting Willow in trouble.
Three separate story lines which in themselves I found interesting. Of course they all come together and some mysteries are solved. If I had been reading the actual book I would have been reading faster and faster to find out what happened!
