Lure

Deborah Kerbel’s novel Lure is steeped in the stuff that makes up a good urban legend: a mystery with a twist at the end, an unsolved local murder, and a ghost story where the ghost tells of his own demise.

The more I flipped the pages, the more I fell in love with the style and layers of the book.

Demonstrating her skill as a writer, Kerbel is able to create two unique voices that combine to narrate the novel in a cohesive manner. Canadian readers, especially adolescents in the Greater Toronto Area, will be drawn to this ìtrueî ghost story set in their own backyards.

Lure is a little gem. Looking for a shorter book to read that still packs a punch? Lure is your book.

This story will chill a skeleton of even a toughest adolescent!
