I really want to emphasize how much I love this author's other works! If you want a story with well developed characters & ghosty chills, read The Haunting of Maddy Clare. And why throw shade on the young male victim of a far greater tragedy than any of the characters were supposed to care about here by the way? That didn't make a lick of sense! The 'plot twists' were obvious, the ghosts were garish, underdeveloped, and unresolved. And the nerdy/intellectual girl meets brooding sexy man thing is the same overdone scenario in any tween book that's been written.

The characters were barely even likeable. Instead I'll broadly state: The drive behind every character was unrealistic. And I'm not talking about the ghosts! I'm not going to do well giving examples without spoilers, so Im not going to try. This story had great building blocks: Haunted motel, unsolved mystery, unresolved family history, female sleuths who confront the supernatural whilst solving these hitherto unknowns! I see the term 'fell flat' a lot in reviews. So perhaps there's a difference in target audience with this one(?), as well as a difference in my expectation as a fan of Simone St. I also don't understand the rave reviews! I did notice that a lot of the popular reviewers of this book have not reviewed any of this author's other works. James' other books with my utter disappointment in this one.
