At first, the writing was awful. The characters felt fake, and the writing was cluttered with clichéd phrases, especially during Emma/Daniel scenes. (Especially the first one. It almost made me chuck the book at the wall.)
Then, as the writing goes on, it gets better. I like Charlie and Emma's connection, even if it does seem a little odd and undeveloped in the beginning. It's worth reading, but not worth keeping.

Basic plot discription aside, this is exactly the kind of book I would have loved to have ran across as an eleven-or-twelve-year-old. Scary, but not terrifying ... tidy little romance, but not bodice-ripping racy. Long enough to let the plot ramble around a bit, but not lengthy enough to be overwhelming. Not award-winning literature by any stretch of the imagination, but there are worse ways to pass an afternoon ...

If you love ghosts and mysteries you will love this book, I did. It is hard to put down once you start.

At first I thought this little book would not offer much, however, it turned out to be really good. It would be great for one afternoon with nothing to do.

Very good quick read. Ended a bit quickly, but otherwise it was very good.

Another fine piece of work by Cusick. It kept me guessing up until the end. I also enjoyed the intense emotion and love themes. Oh young love....
