It’s good. Only gripes I would say is that Barret is pretentious af to me, and the book was very slow (I think that’s how haunted house books are written, but idk). I liked the book! And they did my girl Florence so dirty in this 😭

Merry Christmas

More gross than it is scary, but with enough creepy moments to keep reading. The ending felt rushed.

Really intense book but one of the best haunted house books I've read. Check your content warnings before heading into it though, pretty graphic and upsetting.
