I really was not a fan of this book.

For a short story, I was surprised that I got bored. The characters were not particularly likeable and I'm not sure that the author has been around kids because the way the two child characters acted seemed a little like a caricature. I didn't care what happened to them at all, especially the main character, I wasn't invested in her story at all.

I feel like the plot wise this story had a lot of potential but how abstract it was didn't help the story. I wish the supernatural elements were either there from the beginning or not in it at all.

Overall I just wasn't the biggest fan of this book at all, and sadly it's not something I would recommend.
