Publisher's Summary:
Jinx felt something rumble through the room. She began to shake and moved closer to Jackson. "Do you feel that?" she whispered. Jackson nodded. When Jinx glanced at him, his face had turned bright white. As if he'd seen a ghost.
When a popular girl named Emily asks Jinx and Jackson to explore a haunting in her dad's apartment, Jackson insists they take the case. And the truth they find is even stranger than Emily's story.

Teen level
Interesting story and I liked the characters. My grandson might like to read it. He likes studying the paranormal. We had a ghost hunting summer when he was 10.
A quick, suspenseful read!

Emily comes to Jinx and Jackson with a real case. After having so many investigations turn out to be fakes they are both pretty excited. While doing some research they decide that Emily's case is indeed the real deal. Now they just need to figure out how to make this investigation go smoothly. Will their results be conclusive? Is there a ghost in apartment 101 or something... else?
I found this book to be short, but fast paced and well written. It didn't drag on and told you all the important things you needed to know (including background). The Haunting of Apartment 101 also explains different ghost hunting tools, which I already knew from other things but others may not. Overall this book was good, but seemed geared more toward middle grade readers than young adults. I can't wait to find the second case in this series!
Good YA fiction
With the exception of a couple of minor mistakes, this was a good book and the YA. audience will flip for it! Good ghost-hunting by these teen sleuths, Jinx and Jackson.
Jinx and Jackson's creepy investigation into a haunted apartment will awe the young reader ...
Jane Marie Wright was a total nobody, that is until she totally changed her act. For the worse. No one ever looked twice at plain old Jane, but when she garnered a new look and freaky rep they did. "Having a reputation," she thought, "as someone who dabbled in the dark arts, whatever it meant had its advantages." Jinx, as she was now known, was a h8er, but now the school had good reason. Add bleached hair and a nasty demeanor equaled noticed. Freak. Well, Jackson knew that she was really a marshmallow on the inside, but he was the only one.
Jinx didn't like jocks, but Jackson was a football quarterback. He wasn't a starter, but a jock is a jock. Travis, who was dating Emily, had a spark of fear in his eyes when Jinx called him up for bumping into her in the hall. Freak. He called her a freak, but seriously at least she was on the school radar. Emily was acting pretty freaky herself and Jackson wanted to find out why. She wasn't wearing makeup, was losing weight, and was totally out of sorts. When he caught up with her she was crying and actually said she could use some help. Heck, for a girl who used to call her "Roberta," what the heck did she want?
"I'm being haunted." Seriously, Jinx had her doubts about Emily's sincerity, but Jackson believed her.
