Made me scream out loud on two separate occasions.
More brilliantly macabre folk horror that I highly recommend.

It was 5 stars, i loved it. I got scared, loved the backstory and there was even a tear. But the ending... about the last 5 pages was not it i hated it. It still gets 4 stars for the rest of the reading expirience.

Spooky, but not TOO spooky. I like the family drama, the villainous town council and the plucky teen who solves the mystery.

Pretty fast paced read. I enjoyed the ghost parts in it and the gore, although it could get a little cheesy at some points. Plot was interesting and it was cool to read some historical fiction as well. Most of the characters are interesting ( but some could be a bit flat) to the point where some deaths did make me sad. Not a tear jerker, but good if you’re looking for something a bit spooky and entertaining. Giving it a three cause I feel like most characters could have had better dialogue.

Probably would have rated this higher but it got somewhat ridiculous at the end.
