I didn't know anything about this story going into it... me oh my was I surprised.  I'd yet to read a paranormal story like this and I wasn't too disappointed! I enjoyed the story, but I DO feel like the experience could've been better.

Not written very well and the plot is weak. Some reoccuring comments about hair seem anti-Black. The characters aren't likeable and the plot has no real development or twists. Also not very scary or thrilling. Do not recommend reading.
