Stranger Things with a ghostly twist! This gripping, genre-bending debut is a book not to miss. Horror aficionado Lanie Adams should be thrilled when two eighties-era ghosts materialize in her bedroom. Yet after a fainting incident unbecoming of a horror nerd, she would rather her haunting just go away-the ghosts' waterlogged voices and ice-cold auras are more terrifying than any movie. Enlisting the help of Ryan, an entirely-too-cute stoner, she makes it her mission to put the spirits stalking her to rest. Some sleuthing reveals that their sleepy Connecticut town is host to a shadowy, decades-old conspiracy. If Lanie wants to say a final goodbye to her ghosts, she'll need to keep digging. But it's important to tread carefully. The culprit is still in town-and they'll stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things! With strong characters who are easy to root for, this stunning, multilayered debut will keep you holding your breath till the very last page. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Lanie Adams loves horror movies so never thought she’d be scared shitless when two ghosts show up in her bedroom one day when she’s home sick from school. She decides to investigate the usual reasons for ghosts in a dwelling, but the more she digs the more questions she finds. When she and schoolmate Ryan get into trouble because of their unorthodox method of sleuthing, things start to go horribly wrong.
I went into this with much anticipation. Who doesn’t love a good ghost story and mystery all rolled up into one? While the premise is awesome, the execution falls well short for me. The pacing seems way off and the timeline is wonky. The characters are underdefined and I think, for an introvert who rarely gets involved with her classmates, Lanie puts too much trust too fast into Ryan. The whole middle of the book just drags for me, too. And Lanie just giving in and agreeing with her parents about changing schools gave me whiplash. What the hell?
The beginning and the ending are pretty damn good and Lanie’s lucid dreaming is the coolest thing ever. That’s some seriously creative shit there. The story behind the ghosts is heart breaking and also rage inducing. WTF Overall, the writing could have been better, but the story is compelling. (
