I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.This was indeed a great, creepy, shivery ghost story! The kind that makes you (well me for sure) walk down the stairs to the basement - especially if you live in the same style of building - a little slower. If you (okay me) are a big chicken (yes I am) you make someone else go down and turn a light on for you so you don't have to go down in the dark.Alexis is a college co-ed who just moved into a new apartment building. Once she is settled she heads down to do her laundry and runs into Ian. THE GUY who she crushed on all last semester and who stood her up on their date at the end of the school year. They are both surprised - eventually happily - to see each other and they both take this chance meeting to reconnect. Unfortunately, they also discover something very very wrong about the laundry room and her new, "no wonder it was so cheap" apartment. Something that doesn't want them to ever have that first date.I thoroughly enjoyed the scary and the action/adventure parts of this book. But I also felt that there was an underlying wisdom or lesson to this story, like you find in a fairy tale. A tale meant to amuse or distract the listener but also to teach an important life lesson. Alexis and Ian learn different parts of a larger lesson that put together, will help them move forward. Together as a couple (you knew it was gonna happen) but also as individual people with many choices to make.*please see my review on Goodreads if you are interested in what I think the lessons were*
