I first read this book as a child, probably about 12 or 14 years ago, and I love it even more now than I did then. What a nostalgic and beautiful read

Ali is a 13 year old girl who visits her mom and aunts old cottage for the summer. While there she finds out that her aunt and mother has kept a dark and terrible secret hidden for years. I found myself needing g to know what happened. This book was really enjoyable. I loved the mystery involving the characters and the atmosphere that the author created. Definitely a 4 out of 5 stars.

I have noticed a pattern in the books I read by this author. In her books there are always 1 or more people who are super annoying. Sadly in this book I didn't like any of the characters. I felt like throwing away the book a few times because the characters were annoying.
The story was ok, and I liked the ending, but 2 stars max.

Ugh... middle school horror stories. This book, like so many other books before it, is completely predictable from page one and not scary in the slightest. I did have a few students read it and LOVE it, however, so it must just be an age thing. Maybe I need to learn to lower my expectations a bit more.
