Blurb about this book:

     Having solved the matter of the Radiant Boy, Riley, Buttercup, and Bodhi are enjoying a well-deserved vacation. When Riley comes across a vicious black dog, against Bodhi’s advice, she decides to cross him over. While following the dog, she runs into a young ghost named Rebecca. Despite Rebecca’s sweet appearance, Riley soon learns she’s not at all what she seems. As the daughter of a former plantation owner, she is furious about being murdered during a slave revolt in 1733. Mired in her own anger, Rebecca is lashing out by keeping the ghosts who died along with her trapped in their worst memories. Can Riley help Rebecca forgive and forget without losing herself to her own nightmarish memories?

My POV:

     Riley's newly discovered talents are put to the test when she meets Rebecca as she tries to find a way to free the trapped souls, and help Rebecca let go of a horrible event in her past.

     Alyson Noel has many hidden talents and being able to perceive a world through a 12 yr old's eyes and write about themes such as slavery, and the horrid things that happened during that unpleasant time in our history, while always keeping a glimmer of hope on the horizon is absolutely amazing.

My Score:

     An amazing follow up to Radiance.  I give this book ♥♥♥♥ (4 hearts).
