3.5 stars

This was an interesting read. It was like watching an episode of Ghost Hunters, but with heart. I honestly feel like human, and non-human, emotion was the star of this tale. I expected a little more of the creepy factor here, but I think that Elise's sarcasm and semi-dark humor, along with her begrudging kind of acceptance and normalization of the fact that she saw ghosts, helped make it seem less shocking that you were consistently seeing things not of this world. Truth be told, I didn't feel too creeped out by this ghost story until the end of the book, which was totally awesome, by the way.

The characters were intriguing. After finishing there are still a lot of questions about their true motivations and what is really going on with each of them, but since I know there is a sequel coming, I think that's fine. Ultimately it made me want to continue with the story to see where things go from here, cause that ending promised some very compelling things to come.
