The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco
5.0
I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would and am so glad that I read it!
Narrated by a ghost, the girl from the well herself, Okiku. Okiku is a vengeful ghost, seeking justice for the souls that met an unfortunate end, those murdered by monsters. She decides fate and enacts her terrible vengeance on the monsters with evil and murder in their heart.
She is a drifter, wandering until she finds her next victim, that is until she meets Tark. Tark is a young boy, a teen with evil trapped just under his skin where the sigils, the tattoos keep the evil at bay in his body. Tark is a vessel, meant to trap a dark evil built by many dark spirits and has been so for a decade. Tark doesn't really know what's going on, just that his mother has tried to kill him, she's "crazy" and he believes that he may be going crazy too.
Okiku knows differently though, she knows that this evil is not Tark's doing. This spiritual vigilante turns great protector as she watches over him. She could fight the evil, kill it before it has the chance to do so to Tark, but if she kills the evil beneath his skin, the same fate will find Tark.
