I
am convinced that this book could totally be a movie. It can either be really
creepy or it could even be made out like one of those CW teen dramas that could
easily hook the masses. I received a copy from NetGalley for my unbiased
opinion from the publisher. I am seriously hoping that I get approved for the
second book in the series which just came out October 2017. It is just so cool.
This book did a really great job in combining an unsolved murder mystery, time
travel, spells and curses.
Kat
is a college student who has done her best to be an unbeliever and she has done
a great job at it for eight years. However as she delves deeper in to her
research for her professor she starts letting the unbelievables in unwillingly. She is part of a team of four people who are
looking into the mysterious murder and disappearances that happens 129 years
ago at a castle. Kat is special because she use to see ghosts as a child and
she never had a problem until one tried to possess her eight years ago. Luckily
another ghost named Toria helped Kat into no longer believing in ghosts so
that she could no longer see them. As the team of students get ready to
continue their research by going to the castle, Kat finds out that the ghost
that possessed her and the ghost who helped saved her are both people who were
at the castle at the time of the murders they're looking into.
Kat
and one of her research partners end up falling through a mirror into the past.
Right into the bodies of their past ancestors. Their ancestors were key people
during the time of the murders that they're looking into. As they live inside
their ancestors for a few days shows them how confusing the events really were.
You start seeing jealous lovers, people who are a forbidden love, and some
loves that wish to be. The castle has its own secret passages to add to the
intrigue of who killed the newly weds that lend to generations after being
cursed. The curse is basically the first born male in the one of the family
lines either dies on their 23rd birthday or if that same son gets married
before then, he will die on his wedding night.
This
book is written so well that all the events, as chaotic as they can be, flow
naturally. It is easy to read and feels super full of story that you don't feel
like your rushing through. I would love to continue this series or even see it
produced into live action. It is 100% something that I am going to read because it has one of those cliffhangers
that doesn't frustrate you but just makes you more interested.
