"Since the Event, everyone is haunted....
Most days, the ghosts don't bother Veronica. Living in the aftermath of the Event means that seeing the dead is now a part of life. Then again, sharing a mirror every morning with a phantom teenage boy can be too close for comfort, and she wishes some ghosts could just move on.
But the ghosts are gaining power. When Veronica and her friend Kirk investigate why, they stumble upon a sinister plot. One of Veronica's high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his daughter won't return as a ghost. He believes she just needs the right body. August has tried finding - and murdering - a live host for his Eva before, to no avail. But the more he follows Veronica, the more August knows she's a perfect match. And even if he's wrong, where's the harm in creating one more ghost?"
Review:
This is one of those books that you finish with more questions than answers. The title, for example, is a metaphor - an enigma - that I cannot seem to solve. The story was a lot better than I initially thought and stepping into the mind of a serial killer was definitely a disturbing - yet intriguing - experience. This book wasn't so much a suspense novel, but one that made me feel like I was being haunted; a creepy sort of thrill that kept me reading more. I think this is something for those who have the courage to read it. And it's definitely not for the light-hearted.
