Excerpt from the Book:
Tess Mathesson was one of the few people on campus who didn't think that Jessop English Library was haunted. This wasn't because of a lack of belief in the paranormal. Tess, who'd grown up under the watchful presence of a host of ghosts that haunted her family's central Pennsylvania farmhouse, considered herself to have a particularly keen sixth sense. The Jessop Library never gave her any hair-raising or spine-tingling sensations beyond the regular chills from the abnormally forceful air conditioner.
If anything was haunting Jessop, it was Tess Mathesson herself. And for the first time in her employment there, she was late for work. A miscalculation on her part: too long spent playing her cello, stealing whatever time to practice she could.
My Thoughts:
This book was quite a pleasant surprise. I never know what to expect when I read YA genre. It was a blend of genres: young adult, thriller, and horror.
Tess has a job at a school library. Eliot wants to find a book that will save his mother’s life. They have little in common. But together, they coincidentally start events that will shake both to the core.
Mostly there were two POVs: Tess and Eliot. There were two narrators, one for each POV. A female narrator did an excellent job. I liked changes of accents, emotions, and sometimes the horror in her voice. The male narrator didn’t sound like a young adult, but it didn’t bother me much.
