Bliss by Lauren Myracle

3/5 Stars

The cover got me with this book. It is a bit creepy looking and I was interested to read a book written by the author who wrote the ttyl series. So my expectations were pretty high for the book. The book is about a girl named Bliss who has grown up on a commune but who is dumped off with her grandmother to attend a real high school. She has all the normal insecurities of starting a new school and a whole new way of life. Also, she discovers at school that she has the ability to understand the dead. An evil ghost is haunting the school and is eager to combine power with Bliss. The ghost communicates with another girl at the school who tries to manipulate Bliss into cooperating. Overall I would say the book is a three out of five. It is creepy but the pace of the story is slow and the characters are not very well developed. The end of the story almost had me gagging. If you read this please share your thoughts. Grades 8 - 11.
