This books is SLOW. And like some Horror's the beginning wasn't very spooky. But I read the last 100 pages in one sitting. I couldn't put that part down.
I really liked the main characters friends, but the parts at school dragged a bit. I wish we got more scary moments at the house in the beginning and middle of the book.
But the end was perfect, and everything I want in a haunted house book. The main character is slightly unreliable,she blacks out when she's mad and you don't always know what is her doing and what is not
I also predicted the twist, in the beginning of the book. But I was hoping I'd be right, so I'm glad I predicted it.
