4.5 starts for this creepy little story. I understand why some people had an issue with the ending, but I loved it.

This one was just ok. Reading more like a parody of a haunted house/psychological thriller (though not sure that's what the author was going for). The "twist" being boomaranged at the end was a little ridiculous to me, but I will say, it wasn't boring at least. The writing style was solid, but overall, this one was just not up to the author's past works.
