Review by Anne H.
Who would like this book? This is a book for those who like the supernatural.
The goods on this book: Rory (short for Aurora) is a fairly normal girl from Louisiana who has just moved to a Britain boarding school. Her daily activities consist of going to seven classes with an hour of field hockey, talking to her best friend and roommate Jazz, snogging Jerome, and — oh yeah — seeing the dead. After Rory’s brush with death, she can suddenly see people that no one else can. Next thing she knows, one of the people that no one else can see is right next to a murder and she’s a witness. She thinks the police will think she is crazy until she finds out her new roommate Boo is a cop that is from a special branch of the government assigned to the supernatural, or should I say ghosts. The copy-cat Jack the Ripper killer is a ghost, and it’s up to them to stop him. But remember this: ” THE NAME OF THE STAR IS WHAT YOU FEAR.”
The details: 372 pages; 2011
