This book felt like what you might get if you took Enola Holmes and added paranormal activity (and also made it even better). I loved the characters: smart, intuitive Lucy, selfless, charismatic Lockwood, and stubborn, curmudgeonly George. The mystery was fun and engaging, and I’ve always liked stories that placed importance on youth in connection with the fantastical (in this case, only young people can see or sense visitors).
Happy ending meter (no specific spoilers, just the general vibe of the ending):
Moderate: Body horror, Death, Fire/Fire injury, and Murder
Minor: Blood, Child abuse, Child death, Domestic abuse, Gore, Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail, Medical content, Sexism, Stalking, and Suicidal thoughts
