This book was quite scary. I enjoyed it apart from the fact that it was written in present-tense.

Spooky
It is a good book.
Really mysterious and cool. I love it!
This book is amazing as it has drama, horror and romance. Anyone can read it but I personally think it's best you're brave enough. You should read it as it can help your imagination be a little more spread. If you want to be the best reader you have to read this book!
