Book Blurb:

It wasn’t the first time Daphne Cole dreamed of the fatal car accident and the violent shadow that caused it.

Only she didn’t expect her dream to be real.

Or that she would start seeing ghosts everywhere she went.

As Daphne struggles to adjust to a world unseen, she attempts to use her abilities to help the school haunting move on, a task that grows complicated when she starts falling for the ghost’s brother, a fellow classmate.

But seeing ghosts quickly becomes the least of Daphne’s worries.

A dormant evil is awakening, and when once-human creatures threaten the balance of the world, Daphne must prepare for the battle of her life. One that will test the very limits of her strength.

If she fails, it will be more than her life on the line. (From Goodreads)

Review:

~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~

Ghosts, secret powers, and an unknown enemy? Bring it here!

Wow, this was quite a ride, and I loved all of it. From the very beginning, I was hooked, and I feel like everything was perfectly proportioned. The plot wasn't too complicated, but also not predictable; the characters weren't too deep (sappy, I guess?) but also not shallow or cheesy, etc. The one thing that was missing for this book to be a 5+ star read, is a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. While it did have a great ending, which I enjoyed, I feel like it could have been a little more... epic, you know what I mean?

Anyway, this book is amazing! It's absolutely a must-read for Halloween, and will totally make you break out the Ghostbusters gear and hunt for ghosts (or at least watch the movies lol). Definitely recommended!

Things I Loved:

-Well, everything! There was a great plot, characters, and ending!

Things I Didn't Love:

-The characters were a tad cheesy, but I didn't mind it :)

In Conclusion:

This was a great book, especially as a Halloween read. I look forward to reading the sequel!

Recommended?:

Definitely!
