I enjoyed this book enough to give it 4 stars. the plot twists were all crazy and unexpected. you'd think you had it figured out and then it jerked you the opposite direction. almost a little too many plot twists, could have done with one less, but that's ok. I didn't particularly enjoy the

supernatural element that came into play

but it slightly redeemed itself at the end.

I wish Casey died in the water, I would have liked to see how that played out lol

I expected your standard mystery, this isn't it.

The first 3/4 of the book was fine, but the twist was out of left field and distracted from the remainder of the story. It created plot holes for

Casey and Boone's adventure. If Casey knew it was Len who murdered the girls, then why pin it on Boone? Of course, there are explanations for this, but none are rationale, like Len being a spirit lying in wake in the lake.

So much I didn’t expect happened in this book. It’s a mix of mystery and horror that’s pretty well-done. The characters, are lovable despite their short-comings. This was a great book to end spooky season with and I look forward to reading more by this author.
