sincerelylatisha's review against another edition
5.0
Haunting and deliciously creepy, this book weaves together elements of faith, grief, trauma, and hope.
This book will give you goosebumps and will probably need to be read during the day. Jaime keeps the reader guessing until the very last pages. As soon as I thought I'd figured something out, new information would be revealed that had my mind searching for an answer.
Perliett, the MC from the historical period, honestly kept me laughing. It was nice to have her saucy personality in the midst of the creepiness of the rest of the book.
I wanted to wrap Molly in a big hug. She was such a broken character and I loved how Jaime portrayed her. I also loved how she showed a married couple dealing with life and working through it. She handled it beautifully.
The faith shown throughout this book was raw and real. I loved seeing the characters wrestle with the hard things of Scripture. Things that we don't always have an answer (or an answer we like) for, but how our job is to trust that God is the One with all the answers.
This book honestly deserves more than 5 stars.

This is a creepy book that keep me on the edge of my seat and fearing bedtime! I don't love ghost stories but this novel was the one that changed my views. Perliett's arc gave me the mystery that I have grown to know and love from Jaime Jo Wright. Molly's story is the one that scared me with so many goosebumps and it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The mystery follows the events surrounding one farm and the people who live (or haunting!) there. Perliett was so interesting! I was terrified for her but I was also fully invested in her sleuthing. Molly was amazing as well. She is struggling with depression, a lacking marriage and the loss of pregnancies. Her story was incredible with all of these obstacles added to her new home. The way she reacted to the situations was so realistic! This was amazing and everyone should it!
