This was a lot of fun. If you like Darcy Coates' books, I think you'd enjoy this book. I enjoyed the ghostly mystery and the paranormal investigation aspect. But I did feel like some of the characters were just a bit two dimensional and their emotional switch ups (specifically Rodney) were a bit too extreme and on the nose. I did guess the twists, but I also enjoy figuring out twists before they happen so it didn't really bother me.
Overall, this was a fun ghost story, so if that's what you're after this is for you. It'll hit the beats you want a ghost story to hit. For me, the characterisation could have had more depth, and that would have increased my rating, but this was a good time nevertheless.
