"We do not go gentle, as your poet encourages, into that good night. We are the fates people fear to become. We are what happens to good persons and to bad persons and to everyone in between." 
 This was one creepy and sinister read that made me need to keep the light on and almost afraid to go to sleep at night. 
 This is my first ghost story and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book also has strong Japanese history built into the story that I found absolutely fascinating. I have not read many books with Japanese culture in it, let alone a ghost story and supernatural elements. 
 The book is told from the ghosts point of view, a.k.a. the girl from the well. I have to say I loved that the most, seeing everything from her POV. While she's this scary figure who does some very haunting things to bad people, but you just have to love her all the same. Even though she's dead, she is drawn to Tark, and it makes her want to protect him. I couldn't help but feel bad for Tark throughout this entire book because he's the helpless vessel with a crazy mother, a blind father, and a nosy ass cousin who inserted herself into his drama. Needless to say I did not like Callie very much. 
 But this was wonderfully creepy story that was just what I was looking for. I will say that reading this book at eleven at night with the lights off was not such a smart idea. Rin Chupeco has a way of describing scenes in the scariest of ways. I mean I can picture each scene straight out of a horror film.
