I thought this was a really good book with a nice plot progression. However, I feel it would have made more sense to stick with the first conclusion. Nevertheless, I think it was mostly well done
This narrator didn’t give AF about her haunted ass house
A cozy "everyday horror" type of read that still has immensely horrific material in it. Carissa, you almost had me near the end I was going to throw a fit.

Loved this book! A slightly different take on haunted house theme. Great blend of horror and dark humor. I agree that the story line was a bit slow at times, but I still enjoyed finding out more about the characters and the house itself during these periods of the book. I might have even rated this higher if it was not for the daughter (Katherine). For much of the book, I just wanted to slap her upside her head. She seemed a bit over-the-top at times and less believable than the other characters (which is saying a lot for a book with a bunch of characters that are ghosts). I agree with other authors that there wasn’t really any shocking twists, but for me this did not take away from the whole story. If you read a lot of horror, there are some things you can guess at and probably get right. Overall, highly recommend this one.
Trigger warnings: domestic violence (throughout), gore, violence against children, suicide, mental illness.

I absolutely loved this book and will be re-reading it later on. If you’re looking for a spooky season read definitely give it a shot. It wasn’t scary but it was definitely creepy and actually hilarious at times.
I’m adding some quotes from the book at the bottom of this, so don’t read further if you feel like it might spoil something for you. (I don’t think it will but
