I've known about this book for a while, I've heard several great things about it but kept putting it off, which was a big mistake! I truly loved the story. The main character Iris and her best friend believe they can do spells. Well one day when they go to the cemetery to try to reach the dead they actually get a response, at least Iris does. From then on she is being haunted by the ghost of a young man that disappeared from her small town many years ago. Nobody knows what happened to him or wants to talk about it.

I loved that the book kept bringing up even more questions in my mind with each secret that Iris and her friends uncovered. Saundra does an amazing job with this ghost story in this really small southern town that I got goosebumps while reading it at times. I really enjoyed the southern accent that she gave her characters it was really fun to read because that's the way that I talk sometimes, and I haven't come accross many books that have that in them. It is a very well written book that I had no trouble at all connecting to the characters and picturing the small Louisiana town in my mind. The ending will surprise you and you'll never see it coming. I will definitely be reading this one again!
