![]() ![]() There were so comedic elements throughout the book which I think adds a bit of relief to a overall serious book, which can be important to have in YA. ![]() In fact I think writing was pretty smart. ![]() One of my bigger complaints with YA is that the author has a tendency to talk down to the reader or "dumb it down", but this book did not have that feel about it at all. I found that I liked the book was written as well. In fact the suspenseful elements and mystery made me have to know what was going on, and made me want to read faster so I could find out what was going to happen next. The fact that it read more like a mystery with a paranormal element made the book easier to read for me. It still had some of the standard horror elements like ghosts, but it for me the story felt more about the characters themselves and figuring out what happened/is happening to the respective characters in the book. And here is why, it takes place in my Texas, my home state which I miss terrible, second because the high school has a rebel for a mascot, my high school had a rebel for its mascot, oh and third I'm adopted too! It's always fun when a book has different parts about it that you can identify from your own life.įor me this book was way more mystery than horror (yay cause I really don't like horror). So even though this book is kind of a young adult horror (and as we all know from my past reviews I am not a huge fan of young adult, and horror just freaks me out), I was actually pretty excited about this book. ![]()
