How to describe this book accurately without giving anything away? Oh dear. Well the first word that pops into my head is definitely one that is popular around the movie scene. That, my dears, would be twist! Tighter will take your brain, twist it until you're not sure what way is up, and then put you back down to try to navigate the world normally again. It's eerie, well-written and just all around fantastic!

With references to the classic novel The Turn of the Screw, this story at first follows the original very tightly, and then branches off into its own unique and amazing storyline. Jamie arrives in Little Bly after the reader finds out that she has a dark secret she is taking with her. In fact, her family is prompting her to go in an effort to pull her out of a sort of depression that surrounds her. As I got to know Jamie, I found myself understanding her more and more until all of the sudden, remember that word above, TWIST! Oh, this book is fantastic.

The characters in this book are so vividly written. From Jamie, our main character, right down to her young charge, each of them has their own unique personality and quirks. I did not necessarily like Jamie's character, but I did understand her. In terms of plot, the story moves along at a quick pace, always giving you just enough to keep you reading. By the time I got to the end of Tighter I was reading at a lightning quick speed just to see what happened! The ending did not disappoint.

I apologize for being so vague, but let me tell you that anything else I say will be a spoiler. Trust me when I say that the less you know when you go into this book, the more you will appreciate the overall story with its twists and turns! If you are a fan of The Turn of the Screw, or even if you are not, you will find this a fascinating new story. Plus, well, it's by Adele Griffin, and so you know it will have great voice. ( )

Based on Henry James' "The Turning of the Screw", this tells the story of Jamie Atkinson's summer spent as a nanny in the small Rhode Island beach town of Little Bly where she begins to fear that the estate may be haunted, especially after she learns of the deaths the previous summer of the nanny and her boyfriend. Nursing a broken heart and addicted to painkillers after a back injury, Jamie's self-medicated state should make readers aware that she is an unreliable narrator, but her voice seems practical until the end, where the conclusion suddenly warps the reader's entire perspective of the summer's events. A good recommend for ghost story lovers without the horror. ( )

A shivery and spooky ghost story. I have my doubts about the ending, but I enjoyed the ride. And finished it in practically one sitting.
