Love that the romance subplot of the story was between two childhood rivals bc their banter was so cute and from the reader’s perspective you could definitely tell just how much they acted like they didn’t get along knowing Cara and Zach wanted each other🤭 the epilogue ended off on a cliffhanger so I’m interested in seeing what the plot of the potential sequel will look like.

The start was great and the chemistry even with the dreaded "miscomputation trope" which drives me up the wall  because how on earth do yall not know that you like each other and if i had to hear one more time " oh he just wants to save me from the monster trying to kill me but hes only doing it so i can save him ...... blah blah shut up and kiss.
this is clearly going to be a series (from the set up at the end ) but even this one maybe should have left it for the other ones it was alll too everywhere and too much going on at one time some things a should have been cut.
the writing  was really smooth and descriptive but again felt like some cutting was needed some scenes dragged and i felt  some of her revelations tiresome  as if they were negative (about zach ) she would change it the next chapter.
honestly needed them to make a love realization quicker as it just got annoying but thats me and some readers love miscommunication  ..have at it !!
no regrets still liked it a lot and i am 24 so i wasn't the target audience  for this so maybe thats it 
still will read the second book and would recommend 
PS: need a book on Britney  and her family no reason needed

I loved this book so much, the trials they went through to try and solve his death is amazing and had me on tender hooks, had my heart racing in a few places too!

I really enjoyed this story more than I thought! 👻🦋 I came across this book by chance and went in blind, but it really was an interesting read that kept me going (when I actually had the time to sit down and read). Cara can see/speak to ghosts and one of those ghosts ends up being her nemesis (thanks to an incident that causes him to become a ghost). Zach annoys Cara to her core, but once they have to work together to save Zach, many obstacles arise and put their newfound relationship to the test. The ending was really good, but the epilogue makes it seem as if something more may be on the horizon 😱 Maybe just maybe 😏
