Jaffe, Michelle Ghost Flower, 358 pages; Razorbill (Penguin Group) 2012. $9.99 Mature
content: PG13, violence PG13.
On the
swears words, I stopped counting at 30 not even half way through the book, and
it felt awkward as if the author just wanted to be edgy; no F words
however. A brother and sister think they
have lucked out when they find their cousin’s doppelganger. They plan to set her up as their cousin so
she can claim the cousin’s inheritance.
A twisty, turning mystery, but way too many holes left gaping at the
end. There are sexual undertones and
overtones, a non-graphic lesbian relationship, a hint at incest, suicide and
murder, and fairly immoral activities passed off casually. The interest level would be high school, but
most high school students would figure it out quickly and then be disappointed.
NOT RECOMMENDED
