Thank you so much to Saga Press for the complimentary copy of this!

I was drawn to this book initially from the cover. It looks so haunting (no pun intended) and I love the simplicity of the black and white with the yellow. The premise of this book was so interesting!! I thought it was so unique and was curious how the author would execute it.

Talitha goes back to the neighborhood she thought she never would return after some persuading from a researcher. Turns out only 3 people are able to return back to this neighborhood that suddenly disappeared - Talitha and her former friends Brett and Grace. She goes back and sees all these ghosts (literal) but when she leaves, she thinks she is only gone an hour but in reality it was 3 months!

"She's gone."
"But why would she choose to stay behind."
"Doesn't everyone want to go home?"

The whole idea of going back to a ghost town and being able to interact and touch loved ones who are essentially stuck there is amazing. And how the ghosts just go about as if nothing is wrong. People have tried to study this block on the street but it looks like a lot until Talitha steps foot at the boundary and then she is teleported to 20 years back.

I read this book via my ears and I thought Jennifer Pickens did excellent as the narrator. But I do wish I was reading along with the book because of how seamless the transition when Talitha would go into this other world because I would forget that the ghosts can talk.

If you are looking for an original ghost story that isn't too creepy - I recommend this one!
