I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this book, but it sure grabbed me from page one. Kylie is having a hard time at home, then just happens to be at the wrong party at the wrong time and gets in trouble. Her parents end up sending her off to Shadow Falls Camp, and she is not happy about it. I felt bad for Kylie from the start. I mean, talk about bad luck! The whole time I kept thinking, "This poor girl. Her parents need to chill." As soon as she gets on the bus to head to the camp though, that's when things start getting interesting. I had so much fun reading about the bus ride. At this point in the book the reader isn't sure who or what these teenagers are, but they are intriguing! I found myself laughing out loud and being utterly disgusted by a few of the characters at the same time. I really enjoyed the fresh twist on the paranormal tale.

I enjoyed Kylie's wit and she was very likable. I loved reading about the tension between Kylie and Lucas and Derek. This was a book that I picked up and just didn't want to put down.

I do have to say that some of the dialog was a bit dry or lacking for me, which is why I give this book 3 stars. I also felt that the storyline skipped a bit, and I felt like I was missing out on some pieces of the story. Still, if you love paranormal stories, especially ones involving all things paranormal, then pick up this book today! I think you'll like it! 3/5 stars!
Good Points
A mysterious, exciting, witty and fun read.

I hate when a story skips around. It always makes me feel a little lost and like I've missed something important. It sounds pretty interesting, though. Paranormal isn't my usual genre, but maybe I'll have to look into this one.
