4.5

I enjoyed almost everything in this book. It's genuinely scary at parts, and I had chills for a big portion of the book. At times, it shifts focus to a romantic subplot which was sometimes welcome and other times tedious, but overall a good book.

I loved this book! The story, the vibes, the characters it was all amazing. The only thing holding me back from a 5 star is I just wanted more scares and horror.
