Wow. Samantha Durante knows how to shock readers, that's for sure! Stitch starts off ordinary and you don't understand how the book could be classes and a dystopian or sci-fi. Until...BOOM! Half-way through the book a big secret is unleashed and everything changes dramatically.

19-year-old Alessa is now at college following the recent death of her parents. The trouble is, she keeps seeing the ghost of a boy with blue eyes in the old house where her sorority lives, and she has a very strange attraction to him.
This apparition is not what he seems though, and Alessa's whole life is about to come crashing down around her.
Who is the ghost? What is he to Alessa? And what is it that Alessa doesn't know?

This book seemed to be a fairly okay `girl loves ghost' story, until around the 60% mark, then it got really strange!

Alessa was a normal enough college student, other than the fact that her parents had been killed quite recently, and she was still trying to come to terms with their deaths. She was actually quite relaxed when it came to the whole seeing-a-ghost thing, and wasn't too upset by it, even though it didn't seem that she had seen any before.

The storyline of `Alessa tries to save boy who died in fire 100 years okay' was okay, ignoring the whole paradox thing of changing history, but then at around the 60% mark, there was a shocking revelation, and the whole story got turned on its head! ! What started out as a ghost story became something different entirely, and I wasn't even sure as to whether I should believe what was going on, or think that Alyssa's friend who told her the news was delusional!
I didn't really connect with the last 40% of the story after that, and got a little confused by exactly what was going on, and who was who, and what exactly they were trying to achieve.
Overall; this book was okay, but while the first part of the book was a little slow, the second half was a bit bizarre, and I found it a little disjointed. Don't think I'll be rushing to read the sequel unfortunately.
6 out of 10.

this book was interesting and fun to read. recommend it to any 13 yr old as easy to read and keeps you hooked to the end.
