A haunted house, a buried mystery, and a very angry ghost make this one unforgettable thriller.Jade loves the house she's just moved into with her family. She doesn't even mind being the new girl at the high school: It's a fresh start, and there's that one guy with the dreamy blue eyes. . . . But then things begin happening. Strange, otherworldly things. Jade's little brother claims to see a glimmering girl in his room. Jade's jewelry gets moved around, as if by an invisible hand. Kids at school whisper behind her back like they know something she doesn't. Soon, Jade must face an impossible fact: that her perfect house . . . is haunted. Haunted by a ghost who's seeking not just vengeance, but the truth. The ghost of a girl who ruled Jade's school -- until her untimely death last year. It's up to Jade to put the pieces together before her own life is at stake. As Jade investigates the mystery, she discovers that her new friends in town have more than a few deep, dark secrets. But is one of them a murderer?

"4/5. It’s a good book. It is. Jade is a realistic teenager who has quirky likes and dislikes about herself. The rest of the characters are shaped in ways that fit the main character. Kane and Ellie are quite similar. Both of them have a moment in the story where they each lose control. Kane causes Jade to be isolated from society (even for a short period). I also really like that the mystery killer is not the main antagonist. Kayla is calculating, manipulative, and abusive."
