"Vaught's gradual building of her ghost-busting team nicely juggles attitude and fright, and she excels at bringing each story to a conclusion while still driving to an overall climax. Readers not ready for full-on nightmares will eagerly check into this madhouse." - Booklist   "Vaught mines a wealth of local history and urban legends to achieve her scares . This is still a cinematic ghost story that requires only a dark and stormy night to complete the mood." - BCCB   "Teens looking for an eerie ghost story will want to check this one out." - School Library Journal   "An illuminating, recommended read." - Kirkus Reviews on Freaks Like Us   "Vaught deftly manipulates stereotypes of a broad array of characters-"alphabets," delinquents, parents, siblings, even FBI agents-to reveal the question that reverberates through the densely constructed novel: are we defined by how we perceive ourselves or by how others see us?" - The Horn Book Magazine on Freaks Like Us   '"An original and meaningful work that provokes thought about action, consequence, redemption, and renewal." - Booklist , starred review, on Trigger.
