Synopsis:
Kerry is chosen by the coolest clique in school and so she thinks life has finally begun. But then it seems all over when her three friends are killed in a shocking car accident. Or are they? Only weeks after the accident, Kerry receives a text from one of the girls: We're all 3 here at my aunt's in the city. Take the 3:50 train. B there.
Exhilarating, terrifying suspense is crossed with a thought-provoking examination of peer pressure in Richard Peck's return to his contemporary teen- and ghost-story roots. This is a master author's gift to the Gossip Girl/Twilight generation: his own smart, stylish, and fun take on the paranormal.
Author Bio:

My Opinion:
I was so angry when I first received these books, over having to pay the duty on a review copy, that I just wanted to read them and get them out of my sight. The first part of the book didn't help any. It was slow-paced, and not much really forming as in way of a story, it was just four girls in school. Whoopie!
Then the second half, picked up almost out of nowhere.
It did make up for any feelings I previously had, as I swept through the pages like a madwoman. I had to know what was going on with the girls. I'm so glad I didn't stop, because I had no idea the ending would be that thrilling.
So as for whether I liked it, yeah after all, I did. It's not what I consider a best-seller, but it's good for a teen to get into, or people who enjoy ghost stories.
(3/5)
