I was drawn to this book for the mystery aspect of the story, but it was not the main theme of the book. I enjoyed the book to some extent, but I found some parts a bit too clichè for me. I believe many will enjoy this book very much, but I think I wasn't its ideal target reader. 

I would recommend this book for whoever enjoys YA with some paranormal elements. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Beacon Press Limited for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
