review 1: I read the Mystery Box when it first came out and it still has stayed with me. I was drawn in by the fact that Yvette was a housewife who felt stuck in a rut and in need for excitement. She receives a package delivered to the wrong address, and returns it reluctantly to it's rightful owner. The owner, a strange woman named Mona, begins to tell her over the course of days the story that coincides with the box. My patience was tested right along with Yvette waiting for the next day that I could not put this book down. The deeper we fell into Mona's story, the more involved I felt. It was as if this woman was in my house, telling me this crazy, unbelievable story, and as bad as I wanted to call bs on Mona's story and write her off as completely insane, I was afraid to quit re... moreading. So I read, and that's when the twist came, one right after the other. It was like contractions, just when I thought there was no other way to keep going, Eva went a completely unexpected way. I laughed and bawled at the end of this book. It was a phenomenal read!
review 2: I loved this story. It's not the typical paranormal book that Eva would write, which makes it that much better. Filled with suspense, action, and the mysterious question on why this box was sent to Yvette to begin with. Finding the rightful owner of the box, she stumbles upon her nosey, yet 'not all there' neighbor Mona. Mona has a story to tell to Yvette, but when Yvette questions her reasoning to listen due to Mona's behavior, mood swings, strange noises from the house, Yvette doesn't know if the story Mona is telling her each day, even for a few hours is true. Patiently listening, yet intrigued with what is being told to her, once the truth comes out about the box, and who Mona really is, Yvette is determined to keep her family safe, at all costs.I loved the characters both good and bad in their own way, and the plot behind the story make it seem as if I was really there, watching it all unfold right before my eyes. I was happy to know that when my own questions appeared, they were quickly answered. I was so wrapped up in this story, once it was finished, I was left with this satisfying high of relief for not only the characters in the book, but because it reminded me that even though it is just a book, things like this can actually happen in real life. I really enjoyed this book, reading it in one setting. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book, The Mystery Tomb! less
