Reader reviewed by Joe M.

Jade Green is about Judith Sparrow, who goes to live with her uncle in his mansion after being orphaned. He has a rule that she can bring nothing that is green into the house. Not seeing why this is a rule, Judith takes only one green item: a green frame that contains the picture of her mother. Hiding it in the closet in her new room, Judith takes little notice to the scratching sounds coming from her closet door.

While trying to find out just who Jade Green was, Judith becomes sucked into a murderous plot that revolves around the fate of the young girl who died many years ago. Left teetering on the edge of sanity, she will come closer to Jade's secret, as well as her ghost.

This was an exceedingly creepy book. I would not recommend reading it before bed, unless it's a weekend, and you have no reason for getting up on time, because you will definitely be unable to sleep.

Full of gruesome details (the hand was a nice touch...), this is a book containing many questions: Who really is Jade Green? Why and how did she die? And now that her ghost is back, is she good or evil? Jade Green is sure to haunt your house, too.
