Don't hate me 'cause I'm cursed

Blackwood was a quick read for me. Maybe because I wanted it to be done. It's about Roanoke Island, then and now. (That's where all of those peeps disappeared a long time ago in case you can't place it.) So this story is supposed to explain a tad what happened and *shocking* have some supernatural goings-on that make it link up to the present day. We've got curses, bad guys, young love, and mystery. And it was only OK. Not a bad read, but a car trip story to me. Not an "I finally have a whole evening to myself and want to lose myself for hours on end in the best story I've ever read and don't you DARE come home early and interrupt me" story. It gets 4 out of 5 golden snake tattoos for the effort and because I think younger readers would have enjoyed it more than I did.
