It was eerily interesting, a twisted tail of becoming real or something else. Definitely not what I had expected when I started to read this book but I rather quite enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes to read anything that is outside the norm.

A solid YA read. Wish there'd been a bit more character development for the family, but definitely delivered on the spooky/otherworldly aspect.

This book needs a new cover that actually showcases its essence. And we, as a society, need this story to be adapted into an animated spooky movie or videogame.
The family dynamic was the best part of the story for me. And the whole concept about things that are certain and things that are beside everything that it is was haunting.
