I love a good paranatural ghost busting story. The art style is literally my favorite combo, simplistic yet detailed in expressions and backgrounds. It felt so warm and cozy, I found myself taking a minute to admire so many pages. Especially the nature panels, I was so shocked at the detail, it really looked like a painting at times. As for the plot itself, the pacing was already well done even though I kept getting frustrated that she wasn't telling her dad she could see ghosts. Like I get why but I was still frustrated on her behalf whenever she got in trouble lol. Also the details with the character design before figuring out

Oliver's ancestry, he really did look so much like his aunt, I usually never can tell in comics but the artist did a great job 

 

Another element I liked was yhe library research scene, it was actually so fun, I've really been loving stories that include archival research. Overall great comic, will definitely look into the writers and illustrator!
