  1. i loved this book. i feel like the author gave each character a special personality. each character has their own density to them. they all have their secrets along with their good and bad sides. i would recommend this book to everyone.

    1. I disagree, I think if you really wanted to read this book it was not slow at all through any part of it. I do agree that this was a very good book. This book is a mystery until the very last page, and it had me guessing until the very end.

    2. I also disagree. The book introduces the character and her life setting the scene and plot. I do agree, however, that this was an amazing book and I could never put it down. its such a page turner!

  11. I hated this book. it was very, very slow. I thought this was going to actually be a good book; it wasn't though. I was very disappointed. the only okay part of this book was the ending, but it was kind of confusing. I do not recommend this book!

  12. this book was very boring at first. i didnt understand it and it was just a terrible book. then i got to the last 50 or 60 pages and then thats the part that was good; it has a very diffrent twist. i would give this book 3 stars out of 5.

  13. I really liked this book. With the mysterious characters and great plot it was so interesting. Don't be fooled by the beginning, the end and middle are a great read. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5.

    1. I didn't think this looked good. I must have been wrong. I thought it would be scary, and i don't like scary books. I think that's why I don't think I will like it.

  14. This book was very slow at the beginning. I didn't understand it at first then after the middle of the book it got more interesting. This book gets better and better the more you read. If I was going to recommend this book to anybody I would recommend the last part of the book. It has a different ending then I thought it would.

  15. This book is boring in the beginning but as the story forms I think it forms into a great mystical book that is great to read. I recommend these books to the people that enjoy ghost stories or romantic love twist. The climax of this story blew me away with its precise meaning and details. All in all plan to read other books by Paula Morris.

  18. Same here. I didnt really understand it at first! It was hard to pay attention to. And the ending went differently than I thought to. I agree about recommending the last part to someone too
