⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

The book had sooo much potential and I really was excited to read it. I'm sad to say that I was disappointed bit by it.

To start, I have to say I loved Riley in the beginning. Her story is so touching and tbh... I would absolutely react like her if I were to see ghost, but has the book progressed she just got dumb and dumber for what? Knowing the truth...? Why do people tend to act stupid and like there lives don't matter in crime stories...?

Also her relationship with Michael was sooo weird to me and so unnecessary to the story. I felt like the focus should not have been there has it isn't a romance book. Overall I just didn't like Michael and he doesn't bring much to the table.

The end was not unexpected at all. Very early on it was easy to figure out who was the bad guy which makes a mystery book not so great.
