rafa and brie’s relationship is seriously the cutest. nobody does sibling relationships like middle-grade novels 🥹 my only complaint is the ending seemed a little rushed

This is an eerie fun story with likable characters! The story was really creative and I had an absolute blast reading it. This was a great read and perfect for anyone who like spooky stories. Special Thank You to Angela Cervantes, Scholastic, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy prior to publication in exchange for an honest review.

The story itself is fine, a solid middle-grade scary story. I didn’t really enjoy the audiobook version too much - the narrator leans too hard into trying to sound “spooky” and the voice he uses for female characters is just odd. 

I read this because my 5th grade daughter read it and loved it. If this is what gets her into horror… awesome! The book was perfect for her age… but obviously didn’t do much for a seasoned horror nut.

For a kids book, this was a pretty good spine tingler!

Middle grade that swings between spooky and sweet. Some great friend and sibling interactions and some solid creepy moments make it a good seasonal option.
