I was excited to pick up this novella about a haunted burned-out girls home. The premise was stellar. Unfortunately, the fist 2/3 of the book was actually focused on telling us what happened. Which made the part about it being haunted completely underwhelming. There was no mystery to solve. There was no questioning about why their ghosts remained, how to help them, or why they behaved the way that they did. In the end, I was disappointed.
A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.
