Blogger's Note
So, honestly speaking, THIS IS CALLED A GHOST STORY!? OMG!!!! Then Ben Ten can be nominated for The Most Handsome Superhero in Human History! So... you get the point... THIS IS SO NOT A GHOST STORY... MORE LIKE ROMANCE SERIOUSLY! Ok, so there are a few scary points and suspense... but wait till you read my friend Kiara Arcana's stories... then that makes this book look like a five-year-old Winnie the Pooh Disney Edition Book. And the writing style is pretty classic (not seriously classic or not I would have barely pass sentence one). So, overall it is still not bad. Hmm... a max 4/5 for this one.

Synopsis
Orphaned at the age of 15, Judith Sparrow was taken in by her only remaining relative, her elderly Uncle Geoffrey in South Carolina. However, her uncle had one special rule: anything green is not allowed. Judith who was glad that her uncle had agreed to take her in was all ready to abide his request save that she could not bear to part with a picture of her mother in a green silk frame. By bringing this little seemingly harmless thing to her uncle's house, Judith unconsciously unlocked an old secret of this house. And as the days pass, ghostly images of a girl named Jade Green who was believed to have committed suicide in that very house a few years ago appeared before her very eyes. Shivering with horror, Judith started to doubt her own sanity, was she following her mother down the path of madness or was that simply the truth?
