Raven's Gate

I've never ready anything before by Anthony Horowitz, but the cover of Raven's Gate looked darkly interesting to me so I libraried (My new term for requesting then borrowing an item from the library) it: A troubled teenager finds out about a freaky town that practices the occult with murderous tendencies, a nearby decommissioned nuclear test site, and prophecies that seem to point to at least 5 books in this "Gatekeepers" series. Yes, darkly - Easier to accomplish with some backwards witchy England town but I wonder what'll happen to the atmosphere in the 2nd book, where the last few pages hint at it being in Peru.

The book is written for teenagers (I guess Horowitz has other young reader series under his belt) and the pace is quick & gripping enough for me to finish this ~250 pg book. I'll prolly look for the next book in the series whenever it comes out.
