dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

For a middle-school level haunted mystery, it is an engaging read. Some of the characters were a little one-dimensional and could have been fleshed out (pun intended?) a bit more, but the main characters have grown in this, the second book in the series.
