||Ooooh I forgot how much I hate Paul, ten years since I read this book the last time yet the second I read his name it all came flooding back. Paul is the most horrible person in this book and that is in comparison to the two lovely ghostly murderers we also have in this story. I mean letting your little brother thinking he's crazy when you know perfectly well he isn't, letting him get carted of to doctors see whats wrong with him when there isn't anything wrong with him. Also working with the bad guys and just being a general sleazy jerk. Jack is sweet, I mean the kid really seems to have had a sucky childhood and he has Paul as a brother so that cant be good, atleast though he seems to have some confidence in himself now, I hope he turned out okay. Jesse, well Jesse is the same as always, a little distant, a little sweet. Suze is kind of annoying, but just in the teenager who hasn't really got their brain to think all the way through problems and consequences yet. I mean did she really think it was acceptable to have an eight year old do some dodgy exorcism with chicken blood and a have to sit next to a half dead girl for thirty minutes. I have to say though those last few lines make up for anything else, the slow burn romance throughout these books, the will they wont they nature of their relationship. to have him make the move was just perfection||. Overall as an adult I can see several issue with this book but knowing how much my teen self loved it I cant really rate it any lower than 5 stars as that is the demographic the author was aiming at. I can also appreciate the story even if the writing itself is a little outdated.
