This was a super creative way to tell a ghost story! I loved the actual images that were included - they were eerie and added an extremely creative element to the plot. I consider this an "easy read" in the sense of being able to grasp all details without too much fluff and giving me the same feeling as watching a movie. 

This book provokes curiosity the entire way through and you don't want to put the book down because of the building anticipation to the very end. 

I still have burning questions, and I wonder if you do too! Check out the rest of the review with quotes and reflections at https://schaesplace.com/blogs/books

This book seems like it was divisive for a lot of people. I saw it way at the top of some people's yearly wrap-ups and at the absolute bottom of others. Now that I've read it, I can see why. The book is solid through to the ending, but ends in a way that would definitely not appeal to some. I'm still pretty conflicted on it, and after setting so much up in the book, parts of it definitely felt like a cop-out. I will give Rekulak credit that I did not see it coming at all, but that's not always a good thing...
