By far one of best I have read in a long time. This is exactly the type of ghost stories I love to read! Hahn delivered yet again.
The story chronicles Ali traveling with her aunt up to Michigan to babysit her younger cousin. I think what make this novel so remarkable is that it is one of her less predictable ones. Hahn does not lay everything out for you in the beginning. Instead, she gives you bits and pieces at a time and you place them together.
I also loved that the ghost was not evil, per se. Of course, she had her flaws as do all Hahns characters. However, she did evoke some sympathy.
If you appreciate a good ghost story, I highly recommend it. Again, Hahn writes for a younger generation, but this is a good ole fashion ghost story that needs zero tricks to keep the reader interested.

This book had a great story. It was very shocking because the main character dies in part one of the book. I like the author's perspective on what it might be like to be a ghost. She gives Delia a lot of power and develops her character quite nicely. The twist about who the malicious ghost is was quite a surprise.

Niffenegger’s second novel is a semi-ghost story, which confirms her ability to make magical realism feel practically natural and believable. You can read my revised review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/04/23/twins-and-ghosts/

A beautifully crafted ghost story full of atmosphere and vivid poignancy. The themes it portrays about war and grief are unsentimentalised yet moving. The backdrop of cold, winter and snow are on one hand symbolic of emotion but on the other are personnified to become almost a second protagonist. I'm a huge fan of classic ghost stories and loved Mosse's multi-layered tale with its historic and emotional twists.

A very good ghost story and you do not see the twist coming. What it even more interesting was watching a documentary on how it was made and all I will say is keep looking out for the colour red.
