Snakes and Ladders by Seanan McGuire

"They made their choice. Not everything that isn't human is evil. But not everything human is good."

Fran decides to take sweet little Alice trick-or-treating now that she's old enough to realize that it's not just one big hunting expedition and she doesn't really need to be afraid. What starts out as a girl's night out (mother, daughter, and "Aunt Mary"/ghost/babysitter) becomes a horror story when Alice gets kidnapped by a Snake Cult. What a twist!!
