This is a story about a young girl and her mother moving to an old house after her father dies and weird things start happening and she uncovers information about her family and the house itself. I liked the vibes and the unsettling weird aspect that Katrina Leno adds to her books. There were some things I didn't like and did wish I got more from it but overall I did like it.
So I did like that it turned out to be her own sister that died and was haunting her.
I thought it was stupid that the mother didn't say anything even after weird things were happening and her daughter was clearly bothered by stuff in the house.
I also thought it was weird that none of the kids told her, even her friends, when they knew she was clueless. I guess the idea that they thought she knew and didn't want to be rude but it seemed pretty clear that she didn't...

This book was very atmospheric, and would be a great one to read in the fall. I was really enjoying it, but I have to say, I didn’t love the ending. It just felt unfinished.
