synopsis from goodreads
It’s taken a long time for me to feel like a normal teenager. But now that I’m settled in a new school, where people know me as more than Charlotte Silver of the infamous Silver family paranormal investigators, it feels like everything is falling into place. And what better way to be normal than to go on a date with a popular football star like Harris Abbott? After all, it’s not as if Noah is anything more than a friend….
But my new life takes a disturbing turn when Harris brings me to a party and we play a game called One Hundred Candles. It seems like harmless, ghostly fun. Until spirits unleashed by the game start showing up at school. Now my friends and family are in very real danger, and the door that I’ve opened into another realm may yield deadly consequences.
Wohho I can tell you right from the start that this book was really scary and the whole story and characters grew so much from the last book! Charlotte finally begins to live her life as a Teenager, all together with going to parties and finally also looking out for a boy. This was one of the things I’ve missed in the first book – the whole romance part!
But after attending such a party and playing some ghost games things are getting weird around Charlotte and it seems like the whole school’s gone crazy… Honestly, the happenings are really scary sometimes and I had to hold my breath quite often! It was shocking and was described way too real! *shivers*
Apart from this, Charlottes parents have to deal with the aftermath of her recent ghost encounter, something that can change the whole family and everything what they believed in so far. It was heartbreakingly real what happened to her family and all the conflicts that had to deal with.
This book never got boring and moved forward very fast. You see every character grow and deeper than they’d have appeared in the first book. Finally, we get some romance and I can tell that one of the boys surprised me a lot!! I won’t tell who of course, this you have to find out yourself!
