Title: A potentially good story that is poorly written.
Product review: This tale of good versus evil cloaked in the guise of a mysterious evil hidden deep in the secrets of an old mining town reads like a Hardy boys/Nancy Drew book. While the basis for the story is good and the story line fairly well developed, the simplistic conventions of writing, weak dialogue and sketchily drawn characters do little to entice the reader's inner eye. This would be a good read for a high school class in that the dissection of blatant symbolism, simple characters and story development would all be easily used to teach the basics of novel writing.
