Review

This story is about a teenager named Luke that inherits something from his dad when he dies, and it’s not what he’s expecting. He inherits 8 spirits and they are not happy, they hated his dad and now they hate him. Actually, they hate him so much that they’d like to see him dead. Now the trick for Luke is going to be to figure out how to stop them from killing him, his mom, his friends and everyone else in town and he only has 13 days to do it. This is a really good creepy-paranormal-horror story with some dark and not so dark humor. Luke is a great character that you empathize with especially because the choice he made that got himself into this situation is one many teenagers (and even adults) might make. Even though there are some pretty scary and a bit gruesome parts, they weren’t over the top. This would be a good choice for readers that like books with a good scare and some humor.

Overall Book Score: very good
