Kara's sudden visions of terror haunt her. Now at age twelve the visions come more often and are scarier. One day she finds a diary on her doorstep with the possible answers to her visions. When Kara and her friend Sienna search for the truth they find a town that holds secrets. Secrets that they don't want others, including Kara, to reveal.
What worked: Fast-paced horror story of a girl with visions and a diary that leads her on a quest to find out what is behind the ghostly presence she's felt all her life.
Kara's visions flutter in and out with alarming frequency. When the diary of Elizabeth Townsend shows up on her doorstep, Kara is sure she's the same girl from her visions. Her BFF Sienna comes up with the idea to find out what happened to Elizabeth and that's where the story gets really strange. First, why is everyone in the town so friendly? Why do they strongly suggest Kara and Sienna leave the mystery alone? The deserted house's presence also is strange with Elizabeth's room not so dirty. This even after her death twelve years previously. And who is Mark?
A lot is going on in this paranormal mystery. I found some of the reveals predictable but the final answer was intriguing. Fans of K.R. Alexander's horror novels won't be disappointed.
A haunted diary leads two friends on a journey to discover a truth that might have deadly consequences.
