I was watching a YouTube by Haley Pham video and this book came up. She spoke about it going viral on TikTok. I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Turned out to be a cute/fun read. Wishing the author a successful career.

I heard about this on TikTok. It was a little slow to start, I really struggled to read it, but once it started going, I couldn’t put it down. I ended up reading 75% of the book within a couple of hours. If you’re struggling to keep reading, just remember that it does get better! I’m a happy with how it ended. The story in itself was really sweet and I’m glad Leigh found a new family.

As far as stories go, this is certainly unique. A teen tries to solve her family's while she is adopted by distant relatives who live in a mansion and run a multi-billion dollar company, and there are ghosts.
I liked the story and plot more than I liked the writing style. Other readers have pointed out a few grammatical errors, but beyond that, the writing felt unfinished. Weird chunks of time would disappear versus other actions being laid out explicitly step-by-step. The ending felt extremely rushed to me, like the author needed to wrap up in time to meet a deadline and spent all their creative energy on the exposition and work up to the big reveal.
I liked it enough to finish but I wouldn't really recommend this book to friends.

Glad I saw the TikTok video!
I love paranormal books, but I was looking for a change of pace. This was was a quick, light, refreshing, yet interesting read that still contained the paranormal aspects I love. I’m glad I ran across the TikTok video, because I don’t think I would’ve found this book otherwise. Well done, Mr. Warner. Looking forward to more from you.

Just meh. It had so much potential to be a thrilling story but it fell flat. The handful of grammatical errors annoyed me. I also didn't like some of the characters' stereotypes a Guatamalan man named Nacho who is part of a drug cartel I also didn't care for how a 60-something year old man wrote from the perspective of a teenage girl. It was awkwardly written.
