The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco
3.0

I loved the folklore in this story as well as the chance to explore mixed heritage with a horror story, but I had a hard time with the way this book was formatted. Firstly, I didn't really enjoy Turk's dialogue *at all* - it was abrupt, felt insincere and drew me away from the storyline entirely. I loved the concept of a ghost enacting vengeance and the retelling of a popular myth, but had a hard time understanding the point of view - is the ghost omniscient?
Anyways - good book to pick up for a Halloween read, but not the BEST book.
