Review:

Man I love me some ghost books – there honestly could be more ghost books in existence? The answer is yes, there needs to be more ghost books!

This book is centred around Harriet who is a University student who wanted to visit an old abandoned hall that was closed after student died there. Inspired, Harriet thought it would be the perfect spot to get some photos to finish her photography project, that was until she fell to her death. As Harriet steps out of her dead body, she is greeted by the ghosts of the students that had previously died there. But ghost have powers? What?!

This book was beyond fun, dark and a little eerie; which was perfect! I loved the variety of the personalities and orientations of the characters that you meet in the book, they really leave you to be heavily invested in their lives and their life after death. James has a captivating writing style that blends so well with the twists and eeriness of this story, and I was hands down here for it!!
