4.5 stars rounded up to stay consistent with Goodreads.

I really loved this one. This story had a special twist on the classic haunted house. It was reminiscent of some other stories yet still had its own personal touch that made it stand out. It reminded me a bit of The Haunting of Hill House mixed with Pet Sematary.

Mysterious and drama-filled, this book felt incredibly satisfying. It had a bit of everything: marital troubles, rocky friendships, and a supernatural element. I'm a sucker for a good ouija board scene too. I whipped through this audiobook while knocking out some exercise and chores around the house and it made time fly. This will definitely be a book that I pick up as a bookshelf trophy!

Narrators listed as Helen Baxendale; Jamie Glover; Sarah Pinborough. The narration was fantastic. I love when audiobooks have narrators for different characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC. All opinions are my own.
