The second point of view is Forest, a girl who has just reached the age where she is no longer being a foster child.

And it is true, as Levi even runs into the killer that night after meeting a stray dog that he sees out following him. According to his grandmother, you should never be outside on a night when the bells ring, because that means death is nearby. Levi is out walking on a kind of scary night, and the bells of the local psychiatric hospital begin ringing. And actually, we get the story from 4 different characters' points of view, going back to one of the first ones at the very end actually. I can see how that could be a problem, although honestly, the characters did pretty much sound different as we read from their point of view.

This reader had to set it aside on the 3rd person that it went to. I will also highly recommend it to people who enjoy a good ghost story.Īs I read one person's short review of the book on Goodreads, they mentioned about how it had multiple person point of view for the story. But even with the issues I had, it is still a very scary book, and one I will definitely look into purchasing for the high school library where I work. I almost gave it a 4, but had some issues that I just had to back myself down a bit. While I've given it a rating of 3 stars on Goodreads, I actually would do more of a 3.5. When I read the synopsis, it sounded even better. As you have to notice from just one look, the cover is what first drew me in to see what the book was about. First, thanks to Netgalley and Bloomsbury USA Children's Books for allowing me to read an e-galley of this.
