Product Description
My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again. All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost?and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.

 Good young adult book October 12, 2008
I thought this book was very good. It turned out totally different than I expected but I still liked it and I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy....when they get published of course. lol.
Good for night reading September 23, 2008
My brother bought me this book after I said that I want to read something new. At the beginning the story evolved a bit slow but when more pieces came together a machine for action was ready to roll, and I was hooked. A story of a teenager with a special gift that end-ups in psychiatric clinic with a treatment plan for schizophrenia was quite captivating. Therefore, I look forward to read a sequel that should clear up all the questions that were risen by the cliff hanging ending.
Liked it! September 16, 2008
I thought that this book was great! It had a sense of mystery and lots of action. It also showed that you definitely can't judge a book by its cover and that if you give someone a chance, they might become your best friend, or maybe save your life.
Cliffhanger September 8, 2008
I love Kelley Armstrong's adult series, I purchased this book because I'm always looking for books my ninth grade students would be interested in. Even as an adult it really kept my interest but I hate how much of a cliffhanger it was. I'll have to reread it by the time the next book comes out.
 great new teen series September 8, 2008
I especially liked the opening scene with the toddler seeing dead people and being lured into the basement. Morbid, I know. Yet, mostly this book reminded me of the Hero's series on T.V.
At age 15 Chloe hasn't had a strange occurance since she was toddler so many years ago, yet on this strange morning, she wakes up from a dream (of that time as a toddler) sees a ghost walking down the street, and encounters a dead janitor in her school hall. After running screaming through the hall and fighting with teachers her father and aunt have decided to put her in a group home for the time being with other disturbed teens. Yep, the "crazy" house. It doesn't take long to realize things are not always what they seem.
I flew this novel. I highly recommend it.
