dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced

- Loveable characters? No
4.5
the way I ate this up..... like I didn't even really have plans of reading this much yesterday but I binged this after I had already finished something else.
now before we get into this, the main character is awful. terrible. while she didn't deserve everything that happened to her because that's a lot, she definitely deserved some of it. but it's a horror book. the horror genre often features unlikable characters it's just how it is.
it's definitely less haunted house spooky than it is psychological, but there is definitely some haunted house spooky along with it.
if you think you might like this and don't mind an unlikeable character, definitely pick this up
SPOILERS IF YOU WANNA KNOW IF THE CAT LIVES
the cat does not die
