A girl with nothing to live for and a boy with everything to lose–can they conquer their demons together?
Review:
This is a great paranormal story.
Veronica has a brain tumor. Her mother died of brain cancer, and Veronica’s tumor is getting worse, but she wants to keep it a secret. This is more complicated because she also sees her mother’s ghost in her house. That makes her want to research ghosts for a paper at school. When Sawyer, the popular boy at school, moves into the apartment in her house, she has her suspicions of her haunted house confirmed because his sister also sees the “monsters” downstairs.
I loved the paranormal, ghost hunting aspects of the story. They were creepy. I found myself holding my breath in many parts. Those parts were very descriptive and realistic.
The paranormal parts were slightly fantasy, but there were also serious issues addressed in this book. Veronica has a brain tumor, which she is in denial of. There are also some characters with addictions. These health problems were also scary because they were very realistic.
I really enjoyed this story!
Thank you Tor Teen for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I just read this book as well and really enjoyed it! I thought the author did a great job with the question of whether she really was seeing ghosts. The tension as the story went on definitely kept me reading!
