I know that's morbid, but I find that stuff interesting. Like why do they they go on these mass murder sprees? I don't know. It's intriguing to me. Looking forward to picking this up to read though!

I guess at this point I'll wait for the entire trilogy to be released and see what people think of it - but I do love ghost-busting and boarding schools of course!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-19608193074184416822014-05-20T12:48:50.061-05:002014-05-20T12:48:50.061-05:00I need to read the second book.

I, personally, enjoyed it, but I guess I'd hoped it would be a bit more atmospheric and grim, you know? Nevertheless, I definitely enjoyed it, too!

It's not a perfect book, like you said -- still, I found it enjoyable.
