This one has been on my TBR for a while, and it was just the quick, hauntingly spooky little October read that I needed. Something about YA horror just hits different, in the best way.

This book wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t great. The premise of the story was really good but the execution was kind of mild. I wished there was more intensity in the end but overall it was okay

Very spooky and eerie, very much enjoyed this. I liked the way the ending came together and seeing the relationship between siblings and mother shifted. There were a couple parts that I had to go back and re-read because I got a little confused but otherwise such a great spooky season read!
