I really enjoyed this one. Great mix of history and ghost story. Only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is it felt 100 pages too long. The parts with Gloria were too slow and didn’t feel necessary. That aside, I’d definitely recommend this one.

What an incredible and tragic story. It’s terrifying to think only a handful of years ago, events like this happened with such regularity. I recommend this to anyone.
