My Review When I first started reading the book, I thought it would be boring. Once I got into it I found it was very good, except for it leaves you at a cliff hanger. This was one of the few books I could not put down. The videos really make the book unlike any other I have ever read. The notebook style of the book really makes it feel like I am reading a real journal. One video review said the “The journal is Ryan's the videos are Sarah's. Together they find the past is dangerous, the present is haunted and the future is deadly.” The book is well written and reads smoothly.
