Ruined -- A Review by Sarah Gnefkow

Ruined


by Paula Morris


*** Stars

Rebecca has to go live in New Orleans with her Aunt because her father is away on business in China. The house she is staying at is really creepy because her Aunt is a tarot card reader so she is a strong believer in the after-life and warding off any evil spirits. It doesn't help that it is also across the street from an old cemetery. A cemetery where Lisette, a ghost, has hung around for over 100 years now and will remain to stay there until she gets revenge for her untimely death. Now in New Orleans Rebecca must attend a school for mean rich girls. The only good thing that seems to have come her way is Anton Grey , who is very cute. But is he such a good thing after all...?



I thought that this book was pretty good, I'm just not that into the ghost thing. It wasn't one of those books where I just couldn't put it down. But I honestly did want to know what was going to happen next. So if you are into ghosts, mystery, and shocks I definitely recommend this to you.

It doesn't seem like my kind of thing, so i think I'll pass.

This... doesn't really seem that interesting at all. I like ghost stories and all, but...

Im not really into the ghost kind of thing, but this book actually seems intresting. I might just have to look at it.

This book, just by its cover, reminds me of Help for the Haunted, though it's obvious just from the description that it's nothing similar except for maybe shared theme of supernatural between the two. It still sounds good though, and I love supernatural so it's something I would check out if I had the time. But supernatural genre can be easily ruined by other themes in the book, so I won't hold out too much hope especially given the three stars.
