Review: A girl named Jade moves into a haunted house after her mom died. Her brother says he sees a glowing girl in his room. The girl threatens Jade and says, “If you don’t find who pushed me, I will do the same thing to your brother.” It’s really scary. You don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s also kind of fun. I would recommend this book because it’s really interesting. You get to learn how to investigate.

Review: Jane’s shadow has a life of its own and for here that is not a good thing. Jane’s shadow is on a suicide mission and trying to kill Jane. Why and how it’s happening? Well, she doesn’t know. I enjoyed this book very much. It is a ghost thriller bone chiller that you just can’t put down until the very end. I would recommend this book to others, especially if they enjoy spooky ghost stories that always keep you guessing.
