I seriously considered DNFing this book and I probably should have.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me.

I thought the book's paranormal aspects and ghost character were really interesting, but that didn't save it for me. Nothing was appealing about the hunting or basketball for me, if those are things you are interested in then perhaps you'd enjoy this book more than I did. The animal death was more brutal than I could handle. The final chase scene went on for some time, killing the momentum of the ending for me.

I'd give this author another try, the idea of this book was interesting, but the surrounding topics weren't for me personally.
