dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

4.0

This was a slow-burn haunted house horror. The characters and the family history was so well done, and the dark and woodsy small-town setting was perfect. I loved this book so much… but I was so sick reading it that it took me forever and I think I lost a lot of the compelling pace. I’m definitely going to have to revisit this so I can enjoy the creepy horror aspect properly.

This one is hard for me to rate. I wanted to love it so much more than I did, but that being said, it was an objectively good book. I listened to most of it, and I don’t know if that adds to the reason that I didn’t connect with most of the characters? Which is the main reason for my rating. I LOVED Corey and his storyline, but the rest of it was kind of hard for me to get into. I wanted a whole Corey book.
