This is the story of Chloe Saunders, a young teen who hits puberty and begins seeing ghosts. The trouble is that she can’t tell the difference between living and non-living, and she isn’t fully aware that she has this new ability. After an unfortunate incident at high school, she ends up in a group home for teens with mental disorders.
She is quickly diagnosed and told that her ‘hallucinations’ will go away with time and medication. After talking to the other teens, she soon feels misdiagnosed but isn’t sure whether to believe that she is ‘crazy’ and hallucinating or actually seeing the ghosts of dead people.
I found this book quite exciting and I could see it being made into a movie. It was a page turner for me because I absolutely loved Chloe’s attitude and sarcasm. Her aunt Lauren bothered me a bit because she didn’t seem to listen to Chloe. I really wanted her to show support as Chloe goes through these changes, whether she understood or not. I also really enjoyed Derek. He’s got quite the attitude as well but he seems to keep Chloe on her toes and he challenges her to think outside the box. Once you get past his rough exterior, he’s really not so bad.
What I didn’t like about this book, was the extreme cliffhanger. I do like books that end this way, but where the story ends, it just seems too soon. I will be reading the next book in the series for sure, and I recommend this book to anyone who likes the paranormal. It will raise the hair on your skin for sure!
