Book Review 5 out of 5 stars! "It all started with a game." - Lethe Just a simple game amongst friends to kick off some early Halloween fun.

Do ghosts even exist? It was just a silly cardboard game with a pointer, why's this happening? Happy Halloween. . . "I'll be her shadow." This was such an interesting read with all the chills and spookiness of a Halloween novella! Not to mention the mystery and suspense of what's going on and why's it happening? Are the deaths homicides or freak accidents? Lethe is caught on the very edge of being eighteen and trying to mature a bit. Figuring out she may no longer like certain people or want to be close to them anymo...

A very quick read, with a cute, fluffy romance. Love at first sight though the leader has to prove himself a little with Marigold. This is a fast paced story with...
