Rating: 4.5/5 
 ***Spoiler Free*** 
 I actually liked this story a lot more than I expected to. Normally, YA horror isn't a genre that I normally gravitate to, but because of a friend telling me that it was really good, I picked it up to give it a try. I read this book in only a day, and I found it extremely hard to put it down once I started. 
 Characters: The main character, Alexis, ended up being much more likeable than I find she started out. At the beginning of the book, I felt that she was portrayed too much as the "rebellious teenager who will eventually find something that makes her find a new outlook on life" but the thing I love the most about her is that she stays true to herself the whole book. She doesn't let people make decisions for her. 
 Her sister, Kasey, creeped me out for nearly the entire book, but for some reason I still find her cute. She often says creepy things and is mysterious for much of the novel and makes me want to keep reading to find out what the hell she's doing. 
 One of my favourite things about the characters in this book are their intelligence, and their character development. In horror stories I often find myself internally screaming about how stupid the main character is, but luckily there was none of that in this book. Good character development and interesting backstories are things that I associate with a good book, and I found a lot of that here. 
 Story: The book takes a while to get interesting, but not an overly large amount of time. The book starts out with Alexis taking pictures of her house outside, and noticing a strange light. When I first read this, it sounded pretty stereotypical horror movie to me. A person is doing something and GASP and bright light! Commence strange horror things. However this book luckily doesn't do that, and it kept me hooked wondering what Kasey was doing and how the rest of the story would unfold. Points for keeping me so hooked. 
 Romance: The romance in this book didn't take up a huge amount of the book, which I liked. When all hell is breaking loose with her sister, I appreciate that Alexis' first priority isn't to make out with pretty boys. The little romantic scenes were really cute and fluffy and distracted from the creepiness of the story pretty well and allowed a little break. 
 Writing: I absolutely love the way this book was written. It's written in first person and the writing is the way a teenager would speak, which I really appreciated. I dislike books that have a teenager as a protagonist but have them speaking as if they're in their forties or something. I really enjoyed the casual way the writing flowed and I didn't find any of the wording or phrases cringe-worthy. Woohoo! 
 Overall I found this book a really enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend it to anybody who enjoys a good horror book that isn't blood and gore. The second book is already on my bookshelf and I hope to read it soon!
