A family torn apart by a road accident learns that this life is not the end. Lindy is a happy-go-lucky kid raised by her widowed father after her mother dies in a car accident on the night of her birth. Through the years, Lindy has felt a close connection to her mother, as if the woman is close by. This link between worlds becomes crucial when an innocent party game unleashes an evil entity bent on destroying Lindy. Is a mother's love strong enough to reach beyond the veil separating life and death? This story surprised me. It began as a sweet, sad tale of a young mother taken too soon, and her child's efforts to maintain some kind of contact with her. I was unprepared for the dark turn the plot takes at about the 50% mark. Things get scary. Winn never gives the evil spirit stalking Lindy a name or a history, but she doesn't have to. He's the embodiment of every closet, under-the-bed, shadowy corner monster that's ever terrified us. I love that Winn puts her character into real danger, and it's never a given that Lindy will survive. The girl's terror brought tears to my eyes. I finished the book early in the morning and felt unsettled as I shut my bedroom light. Definitely glad I had my dogs in bed with me! Another nice aspect of COLLISIONS is the depiction of a close father-daughter relationship. Too often these days parents are made out to be villains or at least obstacles to a teen's happiness. Lindy has another healthy friendship on her side...Carly is a true pal, who doesn't hesitate to put herself into danger to fix a problem she helped cause. Finally, just when you think all will be normal, there's a little tease at the end that hint...maybe not.
