However, I do think there is a place for scary YA horror. I loved Girl of Nightmares and Faye's comment makes me wonder if it's a little like that?<br /><br /> Jen at <a href="http://www.jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">YA Romantics</a><br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-84445827748276522142015-02-10T23:19:39.233-05:002015-02-10T23:19:39.233-05:00I really like the writing in this one, the repetit...I really like the writing in this one, the repetition included ;) I thought it made sense because the narrator wasn't human at all and didn't think like we do, so it felt archaic somehow which makes sense because she did die 300 years ago~ I'm glad you stuck it out to the end, though. This book was an amazing book for me in many aspects :D I loved the ghost's "redemption"Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-3189616650501038982015-02-10T02:55:32.795-05:002015-02-10T02:55:32.795-05:00I'm glad you stuck it out and enjoyed the endi...I'm glad you stuck it out and enjoyed the ending! I gave it, um, 5-stars. XD Haha! I just love ghosty things (I write a lot of ghost stories so that's probably why) and I also felt like it was an episode of Supernatural which is like my favourite show eeeever. *nods* But there definitely was a lot of repetition. I think it was the ghost's style/voice, but it was a bit odd.<br />ThanksCG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-80017464984017497082015-02-09T19:15:06.003-05:002015-02-09T19:15:06.003-05:00I gave it three stars too.

However, some aspects like the Japanese culture elements sound pretty interesting. I love books that are both entertaining and that teach you something, and this sounds like it does that. I also love it when books really turn around at the end and make up for a slow beginning, which is why Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-59898596829367902862015-02-09T08:50:26.318-05:002015-02-09T08:50:26.318-05:00I FELT THE SAME WAY, TOO.
Well, actually, I did ...I FELT THE SAME WAY, TOO. <br /><br />Well, actually, I did think that this was way creepier than a lot of other YA "horrors" out there (ugh, most of them aren't even scary, which just pisses me off), but still no where as scary as what a good horror book should be like. Or maybe I shouldn't compare it to adult horror stories, haha. And yup, the book did have a slow-moving feel Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728770925522232602noreply@blogger.com
