It was dark and spooky, but the ending was lacking for me personally. Did leave you guessing until the end though!
adventurous mysterious medium-paced

This read was exceptional. The dual points of view between Viv in 1982 and Carly in 2017 were incredible. I loved how the views connected and that I was able to piece little things together like a puzzle. The novel had a disappearance and murders but also with paranormal aspects. This was something a bit different than what I have read before. The ghost interactions were such a wonderful addition and had such purpose. I threw myself into this story without exactly knowing the background or summary and I’m so glad I went in without it. It made it that much better. The details throughout the book made me feel like I was actually a part of it. Like I was the one doing the research in trying to find out what truly happened back in 1982. There were some unforeseen events that I didn’t not expect and it kept me guessing. This was such a good spooky, crime, thriller novel to fly through.

3.5 stars, rounded up. A relatively quick, enjoyable read. I liked the setting and the characters. I didn’t love the way Viv’s story ended - it felt like it sort of fizzled out a little and I thought the character deserved better. But overall it was entertaining.

Fun page turner!

Decent ghost story and mystery, but could see how it would end. First by this author, will read more by her.
