Review | This boook was a trip.I thought I knew what was going on then BOOM this book sent me in another direction.This book is very spooky and intriguing.It is atmospheric and character driven but it makes the book very nice because noemi is a very compelling character .I give this book 4 STARS because I absolutely loved how it had me excited at each turn of the page.This is definenkty not a good book for the adult frightened because it’s so darn spooky.I recommend this to any one who wants a scare.👻👻
