(4) YA Many people have supernatural gifts in Jack Bell's hometown of Utopia, and seeing ghosts is an everyday occurrence. But when a spectral girl asks for Jack's help solving the mystery of her death, he's suddenly targeted by an ancient evil. Despite an intriguing setting and a tense murder mystery, the romance and family drama feel like afterthoughts and the story's ending feels rushed.
