i enjoyed it for the most part. i feel like while it portrayed addiction very well it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. i feel like this is a very solid 4  - 3.5 star book.

4.5

The gross bits in this book really grossed me out, BUT this was such a spooky and creative exploration of grief and addiction. 

“Fuck it. Let’s get haunted.”

There are some extremely tense and gross scenes in this book. It's a great insight into the depths people will fall when they are in the grip of addiction. It's also a great twist on the haunted house genre.
