I enjoyed this one quite a bit, the main character was well fleshed out and likeable. Lee crafts some impressive scare scenes for the teen horror genre and weaves them with a compelling mystery. My only real issue was with the ending as I think the plot become quite convoluted, it also ends very abruptly. Overall though I'd recommend as there was more than enough to keep me interested throughout.
After coming out of a coma and experiencing Ptsd, Lucy goes to recover at her aunts place in Spain. But she is haunted by nightmares and a spectral figure who is trying to tell her something. The locals tell her some disturbing things happened in the belltower attached to her aunts house. But who can she trust, and what really happened in that belltower that the locals want to hide?
