Finally! A ghost story! I wouldn't say I was particularly spooked (though this one was spooky without being even remotely scary) and I had no trouble putting the book down when I needed to do something else.

There was nothing particularly surprising about this one, though I'm unsure if that's intentional or not. Carly was relatable and Viv was a little too perfect. The bad guys were obvious right away (St. James really tipped her hand there) and there wasn't nearly enough doubt as to their respective badness to make the reveals shocking. But even still I found myself rooting for Carly and Viv in this tiny little town just trying to find the truth behind way too many missing and murdered girls.
