I read an ARC of this book 2 weeks ago. This is a ghost story, mystery, romance all woven together. It took me a while to figure out what was going on because of the way the author wrote it. When I did catch on, I was impressed with the clever style. I wouldn't recommended this for students below high school because of some graphic content. I can see the book graffitied with "Read p. XXX!" Even if she had omitted that, I think that the style would be too confusing for most teen readers and that they wouldn't stick with it. I enjoyed the story behind the book about the artifacts that inspired it and how the author came by them. I did pass this on to some adult friends. Like me, they couldn't put it down until they were finished.

Finally, I Begin
I had intended to start a reading blog for the longest time as a place to log the books that I read, a brief summary of them and my thoughts about them. Today, I was asked for the address of my book blog, so was "forced" to come here and start it.
