A good suspenseful young adult read about ghosts and bullying. Corrine Jacobs and her mom move to her mom's hometown in Ohio from California after Rinn, diagnosed as bipolar, accidentally burns down her grandma's house with her grandma in it and then tries to commit suicide. After making some new friends, strange things begin happening that revolve around the legend of Annaliese Gibbons, a girl who died about 20 years ago. As strange things keep happening and some of her friends die, Rinn has to try and figure out if she's having a relapse or if it's Annaliese.

I enjoyed reading this, even though I had figured most of it out a long time before the end. Basically if you know "Nightmare on Elm Street" (original or 2010 remake) you can figure out what's going on. So maybe it takes Rinn a little too long to deduce what's happening. But otherwise there's nothing to complain about. The writing is very solid and the story entertaining and even if Rinn doesn't figure out what's happening all that quickly she's at least not as whiny and annoying as Bella Swan, so that's always a plus.

That is all.… (mais)
