Buried Thunder by Tim Bowler

This book was written by the author of the Blade series, and I gave it a rating of four out of five. Maya's parents have just purchased the hotel in a small English town, but Maya is already having some strange experiences. She saw three dead people in the forest, but the police couldn't find any evidence. She sees a fox with yellow eyes staring at her from outside her bedroom window, and she hears scratching outside her bedroom door. Mutilated bodies of cats have been found around the forest, and then there's the strange boy who threatens to attack Maya. What happened to the dead bodies Maya saw, and who's killing the cats? Is Maya going crazy, is someone messing with her mind, or are there supernatural forces at work?

The plot held my interest and had a good deal of mysterious suspense. The strange fox seemed to lure Maya back into the forest, and she almost seemed possessed. I knew something freaky was going on when the first police officer to show up at the hotel looked just like the first dead body! The falling action lasted a bit longer than necessary, but it was a great book.
