Add a CommentThis one was ok, though it didn't get really good until the end.
A girl is living in New Orleans with her eccentric aunt. She learns more about curses and New Orleans culture, and gets involved in a curse herself! This book has a spooky tone to it, which I really liked. I was so surprised at the ending! I would recommend if you like ghost stories and mysteries.
LOVED IT!!
I really enjoyed the setting for this ghost story - New Orleans, still recovering from the damage caused of Hurricane Katrina.
I Highly recommend this book! BEST BOOK EVER!
recommended by patron- I gave her the Uglies series

Ruined: A Novel (Paperback)
The author's writing skill really drew me into her tale set in New orleans.
I enjoyed learning the historical info and the spooky atmosphere was there throughout the story.I felt as though I were the female lead!
This book is sure to be a pleasure to read to all who enjoy a good ghost tale,and I highly recommend it.
The author is a wonderful prose writer and her descriptions of New Orleans and Mardi Gras were very well done. However I was disappointed that plot wasn't airtight and the ghost wasn't eerie enough.
Mysterious, shocking, and amazing. This is a really good read, had to reread some parts over again because i wasn't sure i saw it right, that's how surprised i was.
I love this book :D
it was interesing to read about the curse
