This book's plot centered around Riley and her skills as a medium. She is a sweet character and her and Jade and some other friends go out to a serial killers house that is billed as a sort of haunted getaway. It was creepy and chilling and I liked it. I think it would have been better for me if it was geared more toward YA.


Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read and give an honest review.

Riley Thomas never wanted to contact the dead, so after a really bad experience with a Ouija board when she was a teenager, she’s kept her distance from all things occult. Years later, against her better judgement, she agrees to accompany a friend to a weekend of paranormal investigations at the home of a dead serial killer. it’s not long before Riley’s abilities summon the spirit of a little boy who disappeared and was never found in 1973. In order to help him find rest, she will have to come to grips with her “gift”. High marks for the most frightening serial killer in a book in recent memory. Super creepy

I loved this book and I struggled to put it down. I started reading at around 11 pm and didn't stop until I was finished at like 7 in the morning. Each chapter revealed one twist and one cliffhanger after the other, I was hooked from the end of the first chapter.

I found the main protagonist, Riley Thomas extremely relatable. Heck, she was me, well except for the whole medium thing. She's a homebody, tv show binger, geek, flirt and sarcastic as hell. I only wish her favorite tv show was real, I would definitely start binging it right now.

Riley Thomas is a medium in denial about being a medium, but when her friends guilt her into a weekend at a paranormal hotel her abilities are turned on and can't be turned back off. She goes through one hilarious mishap after the other as she learns how to use her abilities.

This is the kind of comedic and spooky thriller that I would recommend reading not just on Halloween, but all year round.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book well-written and quite good. It reminded me of two television shows, Ghost Whisperer and Medium, because the main character was female and could communicate with ghosts. I found the main character, Riley, realistic and relatable, mainly because she acts the same way that I do when I watch a television show or movie that I love. She (and a couple of other main characters, like Jade) provided the most comic relief, something that was definitely needed in a book of this genre. At one point, while I was reading, I wondered if the author had experienced paranormal activity herself. If she hasn't., I assume she has done a lot of research and watched a lot of television shows like Mythbusters. Overall, I think this book would be the perfect read for anyone who loves to watch television shows involving paranormal or supernatural activity (Mythbusters, Ghost Whisperer, Medium...., Supernatura)l.
