Engrossing story with a narrator who could possibly be unreliable, keeps you guessing. Other characters unfold slowly making the story suspenseful, interesting and very entertaining.

I loved most of this book. It kept my interest. It was creepy, mainly bc of the pics. It kept me guessing.

However, the main character’s name bothered me. Mallory Quinn? You mean like, Quinn Mallory? From Sliders? (90’s tv show with Jerry O’Connell) That was all I could think every time I heard her name. As a huge fan of Sliders, I really wanted her to say “yea, my mom was a huge fan of the show and named me after the main character)
(Ok. I know that’s a stupid thing to let bother me)

Anyway, I kept trying to figure out what was going on, who is the ghost, what does it want, who did it?!

I loved this book up until the last part. Then, well, I didn’t hate it but it seemed like a different book. It didn’t line up with how I wanted the book to end.

This had potential, and I was really genuinely enjoying it until about the last 100 pages or so. There's really not much I can say about what I didn't like about this book with this review remaining spoiler free, but I'll try to be as cryptic as possible. It really guts me that this was a 5 star prediction lol

First though, I do want to bring up its merits, because I think that it has some.

Things I liked: It's set in a small town based on a real town that not only is near to where I live but that I've been to several times and it mentions several landmarks that are familiar to me. I also liked the illustration elements and how they get spookier and spookier as the book goes on.

Things I didn't like: Pretty much everything else but especially the big plot twist at the end. Absolutely the stupidest thing in the world. Made half of the book absolutely pointless. This could've been edited down to just 200 pages and it would've been better and not as much of a waste of time.

I only add the half a star because I have a soft spot for the small town that the book is based on.
