It was a fun ghost story. New Orleans has always seemed like such a foreign and mystical place to me full of history and lore, so I was thrilled that this ghost story took place in New Orleans. I feel like if ghosts do exist, then New Orleans is the ghost mecca!!

I enjoyed how cleverly Ruined was written. I felt like I learned about New Orleans' past and culture, yet Paula Morris kept the story moving and didn't give everything a way in the beginning. Morris wrote Ruined in such a way, that you had sudden "aha!" moments, yet you still didn't know everything. She kept you guessing as to who was really good and bad up until the very end! I really appreciated that.
