It's pretty good. It wasn't a scary book but I liked it. It hooked me early on and kept me interested till the last page. If you take into consideration that it's the author's first novel then she deserves praise.

Loved this YA horror novel. The story did not feel like the PG-13 cut, plenty of creepy scenes and cool gore. I love the authenticity in the Japanese culture and the author left the reader with having to look up terms or folktales if they were interested.
The spirit that was the POV of the novel was interesting and fun to read. Definitely want to check out the sequel and more from this author.

4.5 Japanese ancient myths & horror blend vey well in this modern tale. I am so happy to have found tis author and this series. The characters fit their rolls, they had believable reactions, it was easy to care about them and nobody was TSTL. Ding Ding winner. I already ordered box 2 in the series.
