I started reading A Ghostly Memoir and realized it had been too long since I read the first. I didn't remember who some characters were. So I reread And Time Stood Still, and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. I went right into A Ghostly Memoir and it flowed perfectly. It was eerie and interesting at the same time. The story had such detail I felt all the scary moments. I don't think I could deal with what Danielle did. Near the end, I felt depressed reading about Danielle's life. Although, the final paragraph pulled it all together for a good ending.

This book was fantastic!! I read it only in two days because I had to babysit too. I could have easily read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down!!!
