Okiku wants vengeance...and she gets it. Whenever there's a monster hurting a child - the same way she was hurt 300 years ago in Japan - her spirit is there to deliver punishment. But one American boy draws her like no other. The two are pulled into a world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from the American Midwest to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan. The boy is not a monster, but something evil writhes beneath his skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. Can Okiku protect him? Or is her presence only bringing more harm?

Very pleased. Interesting story, good narrator. The story is flowing nicely, it doesn't get boring. Japanese culture and history are very interesting, plus, you get to discover the story of the legend that inspired The Ring horror story. I recommend!

Amazing! I did not expect this book to be so great! Much better than any of the movies about this subject.

Surprisingly

I enjoyed the story, which is a first person narration from the ghost's point of view. This is my first interaction with Japanese myths and legends and I'd definitely recommend it. It's believable, albeit shorter than I'd wanted it.

Decent Ghost Story

I can't think of another book about a ghost that made me a emotional as this one did. This spirit has spirit! Not only is the horror aspect done perfectly but it has so much heart! This book haunts me in the best way possible! Be sure to check out The sequel as well!

The best ghost story with a twist I've ever seen!
