4.5

I truly loved this story!! My only gripes is that sometimes the dialogue got a tad cringey and I wish we got to know Magnus and Andromeda a bit more. But other than that, I had a blast reading this. 

The perfect October read (I mean, seriously. Haunted house? Super evil demonic forces? Say less) 
I loved the pacing of this book, I was never bored and the banter between Andi and Magnus was just perfect. 

This will absolutely be one I re-read over and over again!
