review 1: Love this book. It is a fast read and catches your attention from the beginning. Connor O'Neill discovers he has something in common with Ashling, the family banshee who is there to escort a family member to the Underworld. Connor, his little sister, his grandfather, and Ashling travel to the Underworld to try to change the outcome. With a little help from his cell phone, he changes his future, but not in the way that he hoped Excellent read for kids and adults.
review 2: The O'Neill family (a kingly line back in Irish history) is visited by a banshee & havoc ensues as more is revealed about the ancient ancestral spirit's purposes in present-day South Boston. Conor, meek and tenative, is terrified of Ashling, the banshee, but eventually grows to be a hero.
... more Filled with funny dialogue, the book will also please fans of Chiron, Persephone, Neral, and other underworld mythological creatures. Mid-grade readers will enjoy this unusual fantasy. After all, Death is the ultimate mystery. less

Clever use of mythology and religion, but the story felt flat.
