i don't know what possessed her to write this book. but it was, for the most part, very well written (v deep & dark for a YA book).

I cannot remember where I got this recommendation, but it is hitting ALL the spots for Spooky Month! It's more gruesome than I was expecting, and more creative, and had a hard-earned happy-ish ending. All of which is exactly what I'm looking for in a scary book. And it doesn't do that thing I've seen so often in teen fiction where it's a love story pretending to be a horror story; I hate that. There is a love story, but it's of the slow-burn variety, and definitely not the main focus of the story.

Highly recommend this one!
