Soul Harvest by Edgar J. Hyde is the thirteenth book in the Creepers book series that I recently picked up at the local Dollar Tree (they didn't have the twelfth book titled The Rag and Bone Man). Jacob and his younger sister, Ava, live in Willow Creek. He notices the new neighbors moving in and how creepy the family of four are especially the son and daughter. Jacob's father comes home from work starts acting really strange and mean. His mother never seems to come home from work that night but she's also acting strange the next morning. The siblings go to school the next day and Jacob finds the teacher and principal acting strange too. They meet up with their friends, Alex and Noah, who also notice something weird is going on with the adults in town.
The four kids soon find that the Grimaldis are leading the whole town, adults and kids, into a strange madness. It's all tied to the Grim Reapers, their soul harvest and a book of names.
Plenty of tension and thrills with a good ending. My only complaint is that page seventy did not finish the last sentence on that page. Page seventy-one features a full page black and white illustration by Chloe Tyler of a grim reaper while chapter six starts on page seventy-two. This book either had a bad editor and/or proofreader. I still found the book worth reading and gave it an A- overall.
