I loved the overall mystery and how the story developed. The main three characters were enjoyable even though I was aggravated at how long it took Dare to realize there were in facts ghosts in the house.
I love any type of story to have to do with old haunted houses so this was right up my alley. I loved the final conclusion and thought it wrapped up nicely.

what a fun spooky read! I had the pleasure of getting to read this haunted horror while on a weekend trip to VA (where the book is set) which made reading it all the more fun :) I felt so immersed!
I loved the representation in this book! our MC is bisexual and has diabetes and our LI is sapphic (obviously) and half-Puerto Rican! and they’re both such incredible nerds, I felt like I would be friends with them in real life.
this was such a wonderful classic haunted house story! fascinating complex lore! relatable and interesting characters! overall a great time while also being a really quick read.
the points are lost where I felt like this book missed a lot of opportunities. I would’ve loved to see more of the multi-media style writing throughout rather than used just as bookends! I also felt like I often found myself being told things instead of being showed them, especially earlier on. I ached for more descriptive atmospheric choices (where were the dark clouds rolling in? the hoot of an owl deep in the trees? each omen felt like a planned plot point instead of an aid to the tension as a whole). not disappointing enough to take away from my reading experience but it kept the book from going above and beyond for me.
