dark emotional hopeful medium-paced

4.0

I’m not usually a big fan of paranormal, but this was a lot of fun! I like how they played with the idea of whether Margaret was seeing things or actually experiencing a haunted house. I appreciated that we were thrust right into the action of the 4th September in this house and how Margaret had found ways to live with everything going on. I can’t say that it was an unpredictable read with unexpected twists, but wow, that chapter 25 was an incredible climax.

this was a fun read! I loved the POV character, and even when I wished she'd make different choices it was refreshing to feel like they all made sense for her. the ending felt like a kind of jarring tonal shift but it was also gratifying and enjoyable
