As you can guess from the cover and the tag line "I am where dead children go" this teen book is pretty creepy. Okiku is a lonely spirit of a young Japanese girl who has been roaming the earth for centuries wreaking vengeance on those who murder children. She frees the souls of their victims so they can move on to the next phase of existence. Her vengeance takes her to the town of Tark, a young moody boy with intricate tattoos that have a mind of their own. Okiku sees the evil trapped within the boy and makes it her mission to free him from it but there is a terrible risk he might die in the process.
This book reads like a movie from The Ring series at times with how the action is described. It's not for the faint of heart. It goes into a lot of Japanese culture that was very interesting.
