Obtained: Through Goodreads First Reads Tighter is a book that'll give you a brain----. I think you get what I mean. From the minute we meet Jaime, I was suspicious.

A shivery and spooky ghost story. I have my doubts about the ending, but I enjoyed the ride. And finished it in practically one sitting.

I love a good ghost story. One of my favorites of all time is Heart-Shaped Box. Now that is one freaky book. I was a little skeptical about going into this with high expectations since it is YA and all; it turned out to be one of the darker types of YA books.Jamie is a very disturbed 17 year-old wit...
