I am where dead children go. Okiku is a lonely soul. She has wandered the world for centuries, freeing the spirits of the murdered-dead. Once a victim herself, she now takes the lives of killers with the vengeance they're due. But releasing innocent ghosts from their ethereal tethers does not bring Okiku peace. Still she drifts on.Such is her existence, until she meets Tark. Evil writhes beneath the moody teen's skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. While his neighbors fear him, Okiku knows the boy is not a monster. Tark needs to be freed from the malevolence that clings to him. There's just one problem: if the demon dies, so does its host.

    Fantastic.

    Spooky and ruthlessly realistic, this book is a real treasure. Ambivalent characters and Japanese folklore in the background – are among the top things I love about it. The list runs on with the general atmosphere the story creates: scary (I couldn’t read in the dark, which is my habit!) yet with a shadow of redemption and forgiveness hovering beneath the ending. It keeps you on edge, and it keeps you wanting more.

    This is my second favourite book now.
