This book is haunting yet magical.

This book was recommended to me by a friend. I really liked it and highly recommend it too. The house or ghost sections are poetic and unique. You won't be able to put it down.

Interesting way to tell a story.

A very quick read. I loved it. The book was told from the perspective of a ghost and a third-person perspective. I thought the use of verse as the ghost's voice was very good. It separated the character and made it a lot more atmospheric and wispy. I could clearly hear a more haunted voice in my head. It's also not a typical story, with at least one twists.

Very, VERY beautiful writing.
This book is written partly as a poem, and the effect is addictive.
It is a book that can be easily finished in a couple of hours.
I am still a bit confused concerning the ending, but I think it is a very strong and sometimes sad story.
Not the typical YA ghost story, definitely nothing i expected.

Short, lovely read. I stumbled on this little gem at a library book sale. The writing style is poetic and beautiful. I will say there is a sexual element to this story albeit ghostly.
