I would love to give this book zero stars. I’m a huge horror fan and after seeing the great reviews and a friend recommending I check it out, I thought surely I was going to at least somewhat enjoy myself.
I did not.
I made it about a quarter of the way through this book before I realized there is no shame in giving up on a book. There’s too many good books in the world to suffer through a painfully horrible one.
This book consists of an unlikeable protagonist who is supposedly 13, but acts and speaks like a much younger girl. Every page has the word “monster” at least once but with no actual world building or lore that would interest anyone who does spend time reading horror novels.
The juvenile writing, plot, and conflict, weren’t captivating enough for me to care about finishing the book/finding out the mystery.

Meh.
The dual storyline wasn't that great because I wasn't invested in the present day one.
I figured out one of the twists early on but the rest of it was just a let down when it was revealed. Overall just a very anticlimactic ending.
Also the hint of romance was weird.
