Damn this book is crazy, and it was great, but at times it felt like torture porn. I get that that’s the point, but glass in the shoes is fucking horrific. Additionally, for a novel with spirit in its name, it didn’t entirely have a huge emphasis on ghosts in general (except for the destruction of Braxtons of course) . Great horror, not super for me though.
