About the Book:
Claire Cain has just survived a brutal trauma. Her father
decides to take a sabbatical from his job and move he and Claire to a new city
for a while. Claire is only there a couple of days when she finds the dead body
of one of the local girls that has been missing for over a week.
The town of Peculiar seems to be overrun by stray cats.
Serena, the dead girl, used to feed them. Especially a calico she named Sweet
Pea. It isn’t long before Claire sees that Serena has taken over Sweet Pea’s
body and is calling to Claire to find out what really happened to her. At least
at first that is what Claire believes, but soon things change and it seems that
Serena may have other more sinister ideas for Claire.
My Thoughts:
This was such a creepy story! Sometimes I found myself
thinking, whoa, this is way over the top for me! But I kept on reading because
the more I read the more I wanted to find out what happened to Serena. I
thought it was interesting how the reader is able to see through Serena’s eyes
and read her thoughts after she is dead and being hidden away. The shroud of
fog that would come over Claire whenever Sweet Pea/Serena came into the picture
lent an air of creepiness to the story as well. Towards the ending of the book
I got an idea of where the story was going, but was quite surprised by the “who
done it.” This is a young adult book so
if you like that genre along with mysteries and ghosts, then I think you will
enjoy this story.
**WARNING**
There is some offensive language and violence in this book
that may offend some readers.
Note: I received a free e-copy of the book for the purpose of this review. This is my honest review.
