If I could give it an extra half star, I would. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it enough to round up to 4 stars.

It’s a fairly quick read (would’ve finished it sooner, had I read more consistently during Feb/march), but it did drag a little at the end. Also not sure how I feel about ghosts being corporeal beings.

I thought this was fun and spooky. Cycles of hauntings=cycles of abuse, etc. etc. The body horror at the very end was nuts though. I did not like the descriptions of those cops dying, they were crazy graphic. People who don't believe books can be scary should read that excerpt.

I enjoyed the audio book version of this. The mc had her funny moments in dealing with the pranksters. Her daughter was a little too much at first but towards the end of the book you could tell why she behaves the way she does. Ending I feel like dragged on a little bit but still good.
