About the book: Can love last more than a lifetime? Can Murder? Bad things come in threes. In Shady Springs, that includes murder. Lange Crawford’s move to Shady Springs, Pennsylvania, lands her a group of awesome friends, a major crush on songwriter Vaughn, and life in a haunted, 200-year-old farmhouse. It also brings The Hunt: an infamous murder mystery festival where students solve a fake, gruesome murder scheme during the week of Halloween. Well, supposedly fake. Weeks before The Hunt, Lange and her friends hold a séance in the farmhouse’s eerie barn. When a voice rushes through, whispering haunting words that only she and Vaughn can hear, Lange realizes it's begging for help. The mysterious voice leads Lange and Vaughn to uncover letters and photos left behind by a murdered girl, Ginny, and they become obsessed with her story and the horrifying threats that led to her murder. But someone doesn’t like their snooping, and Lange and Vaughn begin receiving the same threats that Ginny once did. The mysterious words from the barn become crucial to figuring out Ginny's past and discovering how their own past is connected to hers. They must work fast to uncover the truth or risk finding out if history really does repeat itself. Pick up your copy of this Young Adult/ Paranormal/ Thriller l through Amazon US, Amazon UK, or Barnes & Noble.

My Review:
I loved this book. It was by far the best book, and my favorite, of the year. The ending was unreal and I can not believe what happened. I read it the day I got it in the mail, and I quickly put it away in my Collectibles bookcase. Lange was a great character, and I loved how she started looking around her 200 year old house. I really also loved that this book took place around Halloween. There was also a tradition of "The Hunt". I would love to have a smaller version of that in my town. I have done Murder in The Connecticut River and I would love if it came to land. Everyone should read this book. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
