Reviews

[Gabi Hollingsworth]

I loved it. In the beginning, it was a bit boring but in chapter 3 it started to get more interesting. In chapters 4-6 I think it was but it was when Amanda's brother tried to scare her and she knew he was there, they had a little connection because her brother said that she had a nightmare like Amanda did earlier in the text. But his was of two boys staring at him. My fav part was at the end when Amanda and Josh her brother killed all of the ghost people and Amanda wanted to say one final goodbye to the dead house and went outside and saw two children and a woman buying to house and she thinks she saw Mr.Dawes who she had killed a little bit ago to save her parents. She had run to the car and didn't look back to see if it was actually him.
