Ashes to Ashes by Melissa Walker

WHO ENDS A BOOK LIKE THAT??? I was flipping the pages over and over, not accepting that it would end so ... blandly, I guess. There was no big cliffhanger, but that was a cliffhanger in itself.
I usually have an unwavering aversion to "they died but they're technically still alive" books, but for some reason this one caught my interest. I'm glad I took a chance with this one, because even though it wasn't unique or unexpected, it was a nice adventure to go on. The world of prisms and poltergeists was very intriguing.
Thatcher was the only character - besides Callie - that I actually liked. Since most of the other characters were either evil or not really relevant, I guess that makes sense. His backstory is pretty tragic, and I like the way he opens up with Callie. Callie herself was a very admirable character - most of the time. (One of my biggest peeves in books is when they do that embarrassing public outburst thing; I always physically cringe whenever it happens.) I liked how she was clever and a bit rebellious, but she had reluctance to do what she knew was wrong.
This was a pretty quick read - but aren't all books as such for me? - so I don't have that much else to say about it. I really want to get my hands on the next book, though; the ending of this one still has me reeling.
