House of dark shadows tells the story of a family of five that move from the city to a rural town. Xander the oldest, is disappointed by this because he is an aspiring movie maker. Being fifteen years old, he believes that his world is caving in. How can he pursue his passion in such a place? Nothing ever happens in small towns, does it?

Xander and his brother, David, are about to find out just how much excitement can be found in a small town. From battling gladiators in the Roman Colosseum, to running for your life from natives and man eating tigers in the jungle, Xander and David find out that their house is not all that it appears to be...it is so much more!

In this house, you never know where the next door will take you. This not only thrills Xander, but it scares him as well. If someone from this side can go through, what about someone from the other side. And, where did those giant footprints come from? Who was the figure that he saw down the hall? What other secrets does this house hold?

Pros: Excellent book. Was really hard to put down. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Cons: None that I can think of.
