Fifteen year
old Izzy Brannick has been trained to fight monsters, but attending school for
the first time turns out to be a conflicting experience for her. Tackling high school drama and a new small
town comes after Izzy’s sister Finley disappears and weird reports of a
haunting at the school is the break from their dangerous lifestyle that her mom
thinks they need. Making friends was not on Izzy’s agenda but getting close to
them could lead her to the clues she needs to solve the haunting and move
on. When people start getting hurt Izzy must trust
those new friends to help her to stop the haunting once and for all bringing
her closer to them than she intends.
There is
nothing for me to complain about. The
one thing that I really enjoy about Rachel Hawkins’ books is the characters.
They are always very vivid, unique, and even the antagonists are relatable. The pacing is right on speed with the action
and the pages turned effortlessly. If I
could have dedicated my time to this I could have finished it in a few hours.
The character relationships were great (even comical at
times) and it was not over romantic, which is refreshing in young adult novels.
I absolutely recommend this one and will be waiting for the next installment
anxiously.
