I liked this book so I gave it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I really did enjoy how the plot was set up and I thought it had interesting characters. The only thing was that there were times where it did get slow and it just dragged on, and that can really hurt a book sometimes. I did like parts of the book and I really liked how Liggett put in flashbacks from Ashlyn's past to help tie in things. I think anyone who enjoys romantic horror stories and thrillers would really enjoy this book. I would recommend this to my friends and I think for the most part it was a good book.

I really enjoyed your review! this book looks like a good read. I think the concept of a horror-romance book is very interesting and exciting.
The quote at the beginning made this book sound very intriguing. Also I like how you summarized the book and want to read this in the future. I am somewhat confused about the ghost haunting her, but would it give away the story if you explained it more?
