So I read this book in one day. I want to say because it was super good, but the writing was a bit juvenile. I suppose that was author's intention though, since this book IS made up of a teen's, online diary entries. So no points off for that. It was definitely suspenseful, and an easy read, so I flew right through it. And it had a WONDERFULLY horrible part that will stick with me forever about spiders. Many points for that! But then I got to the end. The last two or three chapters just BOMBED. So, if you read this book and don't mind stopping three chapters before the end, this book stays awesome. If you just HAVE to complete it you risk being disappointed like me.

So, the last few chapters felt slapped on to me, what with Paige being the one posessed the whole time. I feel like the "clues" were just inserted willy nilly into the book with her scratching Raph in his sleep, I guess the spiders were a sign(?), and her poorly-written therapist character telling her she needs focus on herself, not her brother, and always being sensitive to the buzzing noise? But the native Elder and Monty Verano (I'm going to get back to the author as a character) also felt the buzzing but they weren't "possessed". So yeah, I'm just suddenly supposed to accept that she's been possessed this whole time? I just feel these "clues" were slapped on, while the book has been building up a really great haunted house feel. It didn't need the possession aspect, keep it as a house that is haunted by the forgotten spirit of (forget the girl's name, Alicia?). The atmosphere of the story was doing so well! Leave it vague. Leave it with feelings of unease, and building masses of spiders, and fining secret, hidden floors that was the tomb of a imprisoned child. You don't need to kill off two characters within a couple of paragraphs with no other build up. Someday, when I write my own spoopy book... *shakes fist*

Oh yeah, the character of Monty Verano. Are we supposed to believe that this character is the author of this book? That he compiled her diary entries into a book? Or was that just an author insert? Am confused.
