Overall Rating : A

Wow. Just wow. It is so rare that you get a truly scary story that grips you in and makes you look over your shoulder. Ghouls, zombies, ghosts, the even a freaking scorpion made of dead people!?!😱 I was enchanted and disturbed.

Micheline was just the right amount of everything you needed in a main character, kicking ass, taking names, loving her friends. A tough relationship with her father after a horrific massacre close to home, she both admires and hates her father, creating a realistic friction that, over the course of the story, looks like they might be able to heal themselves. She kept a level head and was her own person. The love story didn't even bother me because, like they should be in these types of stories, it was not overshadowing the main plot and developed at the right pace.

Plot twists galore toward the end with an ambiguous ending making me hope another story is in the works.

Definitely read this people if you want to be scared, horrified and, at the same time, hopeful.
