Review:

I really liked this book. It kept me reading right till the end. Kadie and Maysha are sisters that live in Utah. Kadie loved to go to old ghost towns and Maysha came along so that her sister wouldn’t go alone. Kadie was going through one house burned out house and her foot got caught in a hole. While getting it out of the hole she noticed a coffee can, which she pulled out. When she got out of the building she showed Maysha and opened the can. There she found a journal and a pendant. While driving home the stopped to get some soda’s from a local store. There Kadie found a picture of two girls and one was wearing the pendant. She asked the store clerk if she knew the girls, which she did. When Kadie got home she read more of the journal - she had a weird feeling that someone was there telling her she needed to find the sisters. This took them to Washington State. You will need to read what happens next - this book will keep you turning the pages to the end.

This is the second book I read by Mandi and I liked the first one too. I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
