"Setting this one aside after about 150 pages. Not much has happened, and it hasn't caught my interest. It feels very repetitive, and the mystery isn't mysterious enough for me to keep reading for 300 more pages. I was really looking forward to this one, so I'm a little sad."

"I was super excited when I got this book. But to be honest it was a let down. Didn’t peak my interest at all. I felt like the book just dragged on. "

"My interest was peeked almost immediately. I loved Kate's character and felt the fear she felt. The pain she felt in being ghosted. The terror she felt when she realized Scott was not safe. Ghoster was great, except for the ending. I HATE when a book is so good and the ending sucks. It turns the whole story sour and leaves me feeling disappointed. Kate starts seeing ghosts while in the apartment. Toward the end she even sees Scott's ghost. You discover at the end that the phone is haunted in a way. Anyone who tries to destroy the phone dies. Those were the ghosts that Kate saw, victims of the phone. Sounds crazy awesome right? How did the phone become haunted? What causes these deaths? I don't know, you tell me, because Arnopp certainly didn't! All you learn is that these horrible events occur because of "The Master". Yup, that's it! No backstory. Kate ends up in some weird place after falling victim and it ends with her as ghost scaring the new owners of the phone. THE ENDING WAS SO DUMB! Such a waste of an otherwise awesome story.<br/><br/>"

"Was a very thrilling read from start to finish although the ending was messy and chaotic leaving much to be desired. I was left with more questions than answers after I finished this book."
