This book was really interesting, probably one of the most intriguing stories I have read in a while. I did struggle a bit at the beginning to get into the story, the book starts as a journal and then jumps around between Sara and four other main characters. Once I got into the bread and butter of the story, I was sucked in. The ghost story was interesting and compelling. West Hall is a small town with a crazy secret that people are both risking their lives to hide and others are risking everything to make a fortune off the clues in Sara's diary.

My favorite character is Fawn, Ruthie's younger sister. She is very smart, but yet sensitive and tuned into the world around her. She is withdrawn from other kids, but she has an active imagination and whispers to her doll throughout the story.

The story really gave to light to depth of grief that humans feel when they lose someone they love and how far they would go to bring that person back to life. Really interesting read.

The book will publish February 11, 2014.
