I did not read book one of this series, but I did love this book. I was taken by Tark and Okiku! I think they are great characters. I was also taken by the story. Though most of the names in this book I am not sure I was saying in my head correctly (lol) I did my best. I love how Tark and Okiku helps ghosts trapped spirits. I did very much enjoy this book! 5/5
