Final Girl

The Kat Sinclair Files #3

by Michelle Schusterman, Stephanie Olesh (Illustrations)

Teenage ghostbuster Kat is back, but this time, traveling halfway around the world might not be far away enough to escape from whatever is haunting her!
As Passport to Paranormal sets off for Beijing and Seoul, Kat is ready to take her ghostbusting abroad. She hasn't seen the Thing since Argentina, but weird things have been happening ever since.
Kat's handwriting is appearing in strange places and the film crew on P2P gets footage of two Kats. Mi Jin has a theory: it's a doppelganger. But Kat needs a solution, and fast, because whatever the Thing has become, it's lashing out at the people Kat cares about most. And what did the Thing mean when she promised Kat's mother that the old Kat would soon be gone, and the new Kat would come home... forever?

I really liked the first two books in this trilogy! Quality spookiness and friendship building. But I DNF'd this book around 40%. Unfortunately, it felt like it devolved into "if you just talked to someone, all of this would be fixed". Her dad literally hosts a paranormal show. I just don't buy that she couldn't talk to him or anyone else on the show about a weird paranormal thing that's happening to her. I'm sure that this is resolved later in the book and hopefully it's satisfying. Kat was a great character and I wish her well.

I really wanted more monsters of the week (or book) and less Kat being chased by the manifestation of her teen angst and fears. Once the ghost hunting aspect was sidelined the entire series lost its momentum.
