First of all, I would like to say thank you for the review copy, which was provided to me by the publisher. This fact does not in any way affect my personal opinion of this book. This post contains advertising and the rights for the book belong to the publisher. Of course, is this only my personal opinion of the book and just because I give this rating to the book doesn’t mean, that everyone will have that opinion. Normally, stories with ghosts are a bit out of my comfort zone. I like to read a few paranormal stuff in between, but ghosts weren’t my thing – until now. The synopsis sounded so interesting, that I decided to jump over my shadow and request this ARC, and here we are. „If I Have To Be Haunted“ is a really good debut. The writing style was very easy to follow, and if I get my hands on a print copy, I will definitely need to mark all the quotes that I highlighted on my E-Reader. The book is perfect for Fall and especially Halloween Week. Overall the plot reminded me a bit of Percy Jackson and it filled a bit of a childhood void. It’s not middle grade, but solid YA. This genre tends to get more spicey in the last few years, but this felt like a good true YA fantasy book for me. I liked the characters a lot. The reader gets a rundown fairly quickly about all the relationships and characters. I hope there will be a second book because some questions are still not answered, but I still think that this can be considered a standalone. The author is now on my „watch out list“ aka I will check if there are any more new books coming because I enjoyed my reading time. Conclusion What an amazing debut. I give 4,5 out of 5 stars!
