Nikkie is a housewife trying to juggle returning to school and two small children. She has a life she is proud of and a husband she loves very much. Above all, everything is normal. Until her eldest son Michael begins to speak of imaginary friends.

At three, Michael is an intelligent and curious little boy. He has the same rambunctious spirit as other boys his age. His parents recognize this, and shelter him from the bad things in his life. But they can’t always shelter him from everything. And, when his nightmares begin to become solid realities, his mother begins to have premonitions.

The only way to read Behind the Red Door is with the lights on in the middle of the day. Barbara Watkins (http://barbe-45.tripod.com/) plunges the reader into the unknown and gives a sense of urgency and fear to her words.

Although Watkins does an excellent job of creating the setting for the novel, I found myself wanting more interactions between the characters. Michael and Nikkie were well portrayed, but this amazing story had to have its effects the minor characters in the story as well.

Overall, this novel was a thriller from start to finish. It has certainly given me something to think about - and possibly even to fear.
