This was really good! I didn't realise that it was so short – 224 pages! A good thing is that it didn't feel like I was missing out by it not being over 300 pages. The pace was exactly what I want in a horror book. And another reason why I liked the book so much was because it felt a lot like a horror movie would – and I love it when books feel like that.
I did guess the one plot twist, but it didn't bother me much when I read it. Then there was another plot twist that I definitely didn't see coming, which was really cool to see. Normally I can figure out plot twists (thank you years of watching crime shows). All in all, the plot is really good, reads easily, and it's enough to get you to finish the book in one setting!
I really enjoyed the characters. Chrissy was a strong character and she definitely sees most of the action – she is psychic anyway, so it would make sense that she does. I didn't really like Chase – I felt him very annoying when it came to Chrissy. Emma and Kiki were cute, I did like reading their chapters.
Chase, I don't want to go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything, but he was definitely my least favourite of the Ghost Gang. He seemed to want the fame and everything that came with the Ghost Gang more than wanting to find out the truth. Maybe he changes after this, who knows.
There was also another minor character by the name of Bram and Chase doesn't like him at all for reasons I won't go into. I didn't appreciate that of Chase. It felt too much like girl-on-girl hate for me (except they were guys).
Unfortunately, there was the issue of trying to figure out whose chapter was whose (as it's a multi-pov book. I didn't feel like their voices were strong enough to tell them apart – which is a shame as it's such a short book.
I recommend this book if you like ghost stories, true crime series. Maybe you like multi-pov. Or a lot of real-life references in your books! Definitely recommend this to you!
