We see ghosts. And they are drawn to us. Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding. Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts that try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge - but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. Now she has a spirit inside her. The spirit is wild, angry and strong, and it may be her only defence when she is sent to live with her father's cruel and powerful ancestors. But as she plans her escape to a country torn apart by civil war, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession - or death.

This had potential but didn't manage to get me hooked. I couldn't resonate with any of the characters, their missions, their motivation or their morals. Makepeace as a protagonist was too timid and a big portion of the plot relied on misunderstanding. Once you find out what the Grizehayes residents are able to do, the stuff in the beginning of the book stops making any sense. The heavy use of politics as a dividing point lost my interest quite fast as well. There were some decent side characters and the ending was sweet but that didn't really make up for everything else.
