Adrian went trip with his family when he was sixteen years old. At the house they spent for the night, he met a beautiful girl. Her name is Allegra. She is five years old. But she died after a few days. Then he met another girls many times. Their name is Allegra, too. Who is the true Allegra?
I think it is a scary story. I didn't understand why many Allegra is alive. I tought another Allegra was her spirit at first. She was an ill girl and very young, so she could have been alive much more. ( )

Then, she met uncanny girl....
This contents include horror element so I can read with out boring.
This use only 6000 words but I feel as if it was reading the real novel. ( )

One boy 'Adrian' stayed in a small hotel with family.
He meets a beautiful young girl whose name is Allegra and she said that she wants to meet her mother.
Next day,hostess introduce her beautiful daughter.
Although hair and eye's color is different,her name is Allegra too!
But daughter died after a few days.Another Allegra appear every night.
Is it a casual thing that name is same? Who is Allegra?

Cover of this book is a little scary.
I think the place that mystery and sad past of Allegra are clearing up is interesting.
We can know a meaning of 'Allegra'.
I feel sad by a story of Allegra7s mother. ( )
