CW: addiction, mental illness, anxiety/panic attacks, ableism (casual and otherwise, use of words like st*pid & j*nkie), drug use mentioned, blood, violence, death, classism
I really liked this one, the ending twist is one of my favourites, and I really liked Mari as a character. a lot of this book reminded me of growing up just outside Detroit, with the mentions of things like coney dogs, devils night, and pop. makes me miss my hometown just a smidge. honestly, my only real issue is how abrupt the ending feels. but overall I'd definitely recommend this one for the spooky season!

4.0
Listening to the audiobook, this book really freaked me out at times. That CREEEEEAK…. Literal chills. The “plot twist” while unexpected, left me slightly underwhelmed. Did not like the step dad one bit and the ending was very abrupt. Overall, I like the way this book made me feel. And that was scared, which is what it was supposed to do. So mission accomplished.
