So, there's this chick, and she has this ghostly-lookin' hand... weird, huh? Yeah, well, that's just the start of it...

This story is really nicely paced to keep you guessing what might be going to happen next. I'm not going to say it was full of surprising twists and turns, because most of them I guessed earlier--not because I'm magic, but because the clues were all there, in a good way. The breadcrumbs were dropped drawing me in, wanting to see if I was "right"... And this book taught me how to make an important non-POV character rootable... uh... not in that way... well, kinda, but, I mean the kind of character you root for. Ya know. Well, this book, and "Hart of Dixie" and [b:Beautiful Lies|171109|Beautiful Lies |Lisa Unger|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320525593s/171109.jpg|1024495] (which, while it had some pretty big issues, was actually a good read... basically because the main male character was hawt)... Perhaps it is just a theme I've been pondering lately, and all these things happened to coalesce in my brain at the same time... any way, can someone say tangent?

What I'm trying to say is that I cared about what happened to the characters, I care about what will happen to them in the future, and I enjoyed this journey.

Great last line, by the way (do NOT spoil it for yourself by jumping ahead, though, people).

Oh, and this is the first time my name has appeared in a book... yeah... I totally made the acknowledgements. buffs fingernails over shirt... yeah...

If you like YA, I suspect you'll like this one. Like a bit of Spiderman? Batman? I could see this appealing, too... There aren't many people I wouldn't say "Give it a go" to.
