A very enjoyable ghost story! This was a little spooky, but mostly the ghosts were benign or friendly and gave more of a witch/fantasy vibe than a gothic/horror vibe. I was intrigued by the family mystery and everything wrapped up satisfactorily at the end. The audiobook narrater was also very good and I think read with just the right balance of cozy and dramatic.
Spoiler
I was a bit skeptical of our main character's memory loss as well as the seemingly unfounded affection and generosity of Todd (I kept thinking there was going to be some dark twist regarding him, but no, he was just an unrealistic love interest)
So this one was so boring, so I'm putting it on pause. Maybe I'll try again in a while. But wtf, life is too short to read boring books.
It was putting me to sleep. It's boring.

Huge houses with a sketchy past and a lady slowly trying to figure out what the hell is going on with this haunting is such an interesting time and something that can almost always help get me out of a reading slump. It was pretty good for a debute and I had such a good time using this one as my night time kindle read.
