Good, but not as dark/sinister as I expected

I really enjoyed the easy reading of this book, but I thought it would be darker. I had also hoped that Lord Blountford would be more sinister. It was a fantastic concept for a book, but it felt like everything fell into place too conveniently. That alone made the book feel more like young adult.

To comment on the romance, even though it takes such a short time - a week - (and I HATE insta-love) it felt pretty natural.

Though I liked Lizzie's character, I think the book would have been ten times better if she didn't have the ability to see ghosts. They defo could have kept them in it in a more creepy way, but it was just too easy with them talking to her.
