I had high hopes for this but it sort of fell flat somehow. I enjoyed it while I was reading it. There are things about it that I really liked, but overall it was just ok for me.

gripping and will leave you wanting more
When i read this book, it completley sucked me in. The mix of story telling and the characters leaves you wanting to know more. I read it in one night and was amazed by it. If your looking for a good read, then look no further.

chilling ghost story
This is a gripping and seamless novel. While the identity of the killer is fairly easy to spot, the connections between the characters and their various secrets is fascinating. The supernatural element is also completely chilling. I was looking over my shoulder for the Potato Girl for many nights after finishing the novel.
