Two orphaned sisters. A spirit without a grave. Can two orphans solve a murder before death claims another victim?
Ashley and Maya wish they could take back the hurtful things they told their parents before the deadly car crash. Two years later, the young orphans try to make the most of their new life with their lonely aunt. But the remote lake house in upstate New York doesn’t feel like home without their mother’s touch. When the girls discover a Ouija board in the dusty attic, they think they’ve finally found a way to tell their deceased mother how they really feel. With help from a séance-savvy friend and a couple of neighborhood troublemakers, the girls summon the spirits… and an unsolved murder mystery. When a restless ghost terrorizes the household, the sisters know they’ll never be free of her menacing presence until they help her rest in peace. If the girls don’t find her body soon, the portal they opened will cast them all into the world of the dead.
Book Review: I've been thoroughly taken with this series. I love that it takes place in upstate New York, and in little used locations for settings. Having visited many of the places I can envision them easily. While I enjoyed the story, the ending was a little expected. I did like how characters from the previous book in the series was incorporated yet this can be read as a standalone. The plot played out like a scary movie in many aspects, yet unlike a scary movie this book didn't have many of the stupid points where your screaming at the character to not do something.
I found the characters well developed and fleshed out. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more of a twist at the end. The clues offered weren't really done with any finesse it was to easy to put them together and figure everything out. Yet other than that, I liked the book and enjoyed it.
