Roxie Clark comes from a cursed family. Most of the women in her family die young. Her mother is no exception. Now, Roxie, a legal to drive high school student, plays into her history by reliving her heritage in the form of ghost tours. Roxie has experienced death and knows how to put on a good show. Not only has her mother passed, but her sister, Skylar’s boyfriend Collin was found murdered just a year ago. Roxie, in trying to help bring her sister out of her depression, gives her sister a present that Collin intended to present at graduation. But this present was not expected and sends Skylar and Roxie looking Collin’s killer.
This book wasn’t bad, it was a fun listen, but it was not the best of the bunch either. The author is trying to make Roxie a Manic Pixie Goth girl, but it comes off as to run of the mill. She is constantly worried about who she can trust, and when will the ghosts be avenged. It fits nicely within it’s genera, and many will find it an exciting read. And it is perfect for spooky season, or any other season.
