The book is about Erin, Tobias, Amara and Silas. Using drugs from young leads to addiction in adulthood and leader/manipulator Silas uses that to control the group. When Erin makes him leave, Silas kills himself leaving a ‘how to start a mushroom business guide’ to his lapdog Tobias. Erin’s need for Silas unlocks the business and her addiction and she starts tripping. Eventually she realizes she needs to stop and gets to the source to finish Ghost the mushroom and her addiction, letting her past go in the mix. 

Loved the writing and flow of the book. Hints of comedy as well in dialogue was refreshing. Twists were crazyyy. Loved the small chapters and the parts.

two things i really love are mushrooms in horror books and ghosts as a metaphor for something else, and i've seen it done before for addiction so this was really unique!! just felt a bit long and i didn't expect it to go that way but still a very enjoyable read

When the narrator said "ass" three sentences in a row, that was enough for me.

4.25 I should have known when it opened with a bible verse this thing was going to be fearful...
This was spine-chilling, nauseating, and every other scary synonym. Moral of the story don't do mushrooms, or drugs, or date boys who choose those over you. Down right terrifying and a perfect start to spooky season. Say NO to getting haunted...

This was one of the scariest books I've ever read. and I'm certainly not easily frightened.

The book was so good that I read it extremely slowly, taking breaks and never wanting the book to end.
