For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She’s been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too.
Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. That is until she see’s the ghost of her foster sister… Sally.
Everyone thinks Sally’s just another runaway, but Mattie knows the truth—she’s dead. Murdered. Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can’t do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young policeman, Officer Dan, and together they set out to discover the real truth behind Sally’s disappearance.
Only to find out she’s dealing with a much bigger problem, a serial killer, and she may be the next victim…
Will Mattie be able to find out the truth before the killer finds her?
Oh my goodness. I find it so hard to believe this book has SUCH a high rating. Goodreads, you have fooled me again. I think my problem with this book is that I read it as adult fiction which might not be fair since it's clearly YA. I was almost continuously rolling my eyes at the dialogue and how the reader had to be constantly reminded that Mattie doesn't like to cry and how it's hard for her to trust people. We get it. You don't need to remind the reader that it's "out of character" for your
This book wasn't entirely what I expected. With the title I thought it was going to be intense and scary as hell. Instead, the plot focused a little more on the character's relationship concerns and teenage dramas than the ghosts.But that aside, it was told really well. The character voice was strong, and definitely encompasses a teenage thought process. Her back story was also really detailed and reflected her current behaviour. The pace worked well for me, and I was completely engaged the
AwesomenessI originally finished this book back in 2015. Back then I gave 5 stars. But to be honest I dunno why I gave it 5 that time. Haha Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the series. The reason why I'm rereading it coz the 5th installment is already out. And I'm really excited to read it. I still love Mattie. But I admit its a bit redundant and too sentimental. Haha Still highly recommended for everyone who loves a bit scary things about ghost. :)
The book was so realistic. The author was very descriptive and had good word choice. I never wanted to put my phone to stop reading when I am walking in the halls or when I am at home or in classes. The book started on an app called Wattpad and regular people write the books. This book was so good that they made it into a real book and series. I plan on getting the other 2 books.
After a 20h readathlon I have to say: This series is despite some flaws terrific. I simple couldnt put it down and read both books in a row. If you are like me into ghost stories, mysteries with serial killer and main characters who dont rely on boys to save them then this book is for you. But first the things I didnt like: The boys: Every male in this story is in one way or the other handsome AND is attracted to Mattie and she in return is attracted to them. I think the story could have done
I really did enjoy this over-all. I was able to overlook some flaws (like quite a few typos and some cringey moments) because they didn't sour my enjoyment. I felt so much for Mattie. A foster kid who has been through absolute hell in her life. It was emotional and horrifying imo. Eventually I got to a point where I couldn't put it down and it had me on the edge of my seat. Plot twists left me stunned and felt like sucker punches. But there is one that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, however

16 yr old Mattie Hathaway has been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to kill her when she was 5. Being in the foster care system is hard enough without everyone thinking you are crazy so she has never told anyone until she sees the ghost of Sally, a girl in the same foster home as her. She befriends a young cop named Dan, who doesn't necessarily believe her but wants to help her find Sally. A bit too YA for me at times, but a good read overallOh my goodness.
