I have been meaning to read Anya's Ghost for the longest time and I am glad I finally picked it up! The story was fun, spooky and had a twist in it too! I enjoyed the story and the characters despite our main character of Anya being somewhat problematic. I think the story could have been improved with some more depth and detail into the plot line as I feel it was very rushed at the end and we could have more involvement with the ghost. I felt Anya could have been a nicer character as well but I suppose, she was being portrayed as a moody, rebellious teenager. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and it was perfect to read at this time of year.
