Kara and her father move to Japan after the death of her mother in a car accident. Being the only American student at her school, many of the student want nothing to do with her, until she meets two girls, Miho and Sakura. When Kara arrives at her new school, she quickly discovers the students are grieving the murder of their fellow classmate, Akane, Sakura's sister. Plagued with nightmares, Kara and her fellow classmates begin to fear for their lives as more and more students turn up dead.

I felt that the plot was too slow-pace for me and I often found my self bored with the story. I found the Japanese culture interesting to learn about but other than that the story didn't hold my attention for very long periods. The book is meant to be a horror novel but I wasn't getting the vibes I wanted from it.
