Major antisemitism, spoiler locked here (it spoils the mystery):

The crux of the historical mystery revolves around the murder of a young holocaust survivor by a former nazi guard from the concentration camp where she was imprisoned. Sorry for spoiling it but there was no good way to warn you about the content.

Honestly had me on edge the whole time. And for the first time I actually felt nervous when turning off the light at night. It captured me and I think it represented trauma pretty well. But some parts just didn’t peak my interest as much. But it was a good read over all.

Second book by this author. I liked it, but I think I'm wanting more. Not sure how this is listed as horror. Yes, there are some ghosts, but I want more scare factor involved. Characters aren't significantly developed. They all seem a bit bland to me. I didn't dislike the characters, but I didn't love them either, so it was hard to connect. And enough of the gray eyed characters in books PLEASE!

This book started out slow for me but once the story went on it was a good read. A mystery with a misguided group of previous boarding school girls looking for justice for their murdered friend.
