Ghost Flower

Ghost Flower has a lot going on. We have a girl impersonating another girl, a brother and sister up to no good, a dysfunctional rich family, and a ghost leaving cryptic messages. This mash up of contemporary, thriller, and paranormal worked really well, and resulted in a fast-paced intriguing story-line.

Now, I've had this problem so many times I hardly blame a book for it any more, but I kinda already knew how the fork sat in the handle, as we say in the Netherlands. Solving the big mystery of a book before the big revelation sucks, because it takes away a lot of steam in the story. Now it wasn't too bad, because I hadn't figured out everything, but I did for about eighty percent.

What I liked best about Ghost Flower were the familial relationships and the way Eve interacted with all Aurora's old friends. There is this constant getting to know each other/trying to figure out what someone's ulterior motives are thing going on that was really interesting.
