From the very first chapter I knew this book was going to be an amazing read! It was very hard to put down at times. If I could have, I would have read it in one sitting! This was the perfect book for spooky season!
Mari has gone through so much in so little time. She lost her brother to cancer very quickly. As a result this has made her a recluse. She is taking care of her mother who is still grieving and is just a shell of who she was. Her mother doesn't even notice Mari when she is home.
Mari runs into some new neighbors that are around her age and she feels a pull to Ash's sister Clover. They develop a fast friendship. As things develop, we learn more about Mari and her brother. This story was just so beautiful and tragic.
I don't want to give anything away about this wonderful story. The end of this story I was biting my nails (they're nubs now) my heart was racing! If you want a great paranormal story that is tragic, mysterious and just all around creepy? Check this book out. I can't even put into words how much I loved this story!
