I loved this book! I rarely love a book but this one had me hooked from beginning to end.

The story is told from the POV of Devin - a college student who takes a summer job at an amusement park. A young woman was murdered in the house of horrors and her killer was never found. Rumor has it that she haunts the ride on which she was killed and Devin takes an ever evolving interest in the case.

The story is really so much more than that but I think it's silly to tell the whole plot in a review! The characters in this story will suck you right in and you will feel like you know them personally. It's one of those books that I couldn't wait to finish but never wanted to end.
