Not too often thankfully, and the romance takes a backseat as well. It's a great read Jeann, I hadn't expect to have enjoyed it as much as I did. Really surprised me.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-19395862922575251372015-04-15T05:22:05.391+10:002015-04-15T05:22:05.391+10:00It's milder than Anna Dressed in Blood, but pr...It's milder than Anna Dressed in Blood, but pretty creepy to say the least. It raised the hair on my arms on quite a few occasions. More paranormal though, as it's not only about ghosts, but demonic possession as well. Apparently it's also a YouTube web series I believe, I'm still yet to check it out as well.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-82549308606270329632015-04-15T04:54:01.714+10:002015-04-15T04:54:01.714+10:00Yes, you totally should.

I was in two minds whether to read it or not, as most horror really doesn't live up to the genre in young adult. But so glad I took a chance on it. I found it really entertaining and the parts with the bathroom scenes were really creepy and made the hair on my arms stand on end. Not one to read if you're easily scared.
