I had literally no idea what this was about, but just knew Tiktok helped make the author’s dream come true. It is independently published, so definitely needs some professional editing help. However, story alone was interesting and kept me invested—Leigh’s parents are murdered and she is sent off to live with distant relatives after being released from a psych hospital (she tried to commit suicide and it is talked about to some extent throughout the book). While at their mansion, she meets the family ghosts and the “younger” one tries to help her in  her quest to solve her parents’ murder. Gave me Harry Potter meets Matilda meets Casper vibes.
