Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Pub date: September 5
This was a fun one!! My first thought upon finishing this one was "what did I just read?" and I just sat there staring at my Kindle for a few seconds. Just when I thought I knew where it was going, I was surprised and satisfied to find out that I was wrong. I liked how the things that happened in the house only happened during the month of September and enjoyed reading as they happened and as they got worse throughout the month. I also liked that the characters in this one were realistic - they were neither good nor bad and it was impossible to like them the entire time. My only gripe about this one is I felt like some things were left unanswered and I didn't get complete closure at the ending. Overall, this is a very creative book that is perfect for fall/spooky season!

I was in the mood for something creepy, and good ghost stories are hard to come by. This really hit the spot!

I couldn’t put it down, but truthfully this book needed some editing. Some parts really dragged on and slowed down some of the most dramatic action in the story. But, overall a compelling and twisty horror novel.
