But she also meets a ghost: a troubled boy who insists only she can help him. Soon Rebecca finds herself embroiled in another murder mystery from more than a century ago. But as she tries to right wrongs, she finds more questions than answers: Is she putting her friends, and herself, in danger? Can she trust this new ghost? And has she stumbled into something much bigger and more serious than she understands?

Oh. My. GOD. *explodes with happiness*I cried on the first book(softy) and I could believe it ended :OAnd now...*explodes again* *does a dance*I can't wait!The sequel to Ruined. A year has passed since the events in Ruined, and Rebecca is back in New York City living with her dad, going to school, and hanging out with her BFF Ling. Rebecca's dad has business in New Orleans, so he plans to rent a house there and would like Rebecca and Ling to join him during his business trip, which coincides with their spring break. It's been awhile since Rebecca has seen Anton, and it feels like their relationship has cooled off, since they hardly see each other,
I finally finished it, after 3 months..... I read this solely because I was obsessed with Ruined when I was younger and was so excited when I found out that there was a sequel. I should not have been excited.Although I'm almost positive I would have loved this if I would have read this when I first read Ruined I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would, since I am now 21.The plot was slow and boring and the characters were nothing spectacular.

I love Paula Morris writing style. Her stories are well thought out and flow like a river. I almost enjoyed this as much as the first book. I said almost.

And she wasn't even really a character!Ling--a cutie. Raf and co.--also cutiesGeneral spookinessThe ending...very
WHAT THE FLIP???!!! I did not know she was writing a sequel to Ruined! Oh my freaking God, I am spazing out right now! I know the books arn't that long, but theyre so damn good! I need this book!UPDATE:That was great! I live in Louisiana and I visit New Orleans very often, so it's great when you can read something and visualize its settings so vividly. The rich history went even deeper and broader, expanding to well known history instead of pertaining to heritage of New Orleans alone. I find
