Overall it was a wholesome read. I wouldn't categorize it as horror. 
I really enjoyed this book and honestly overlooked a lot of problematic issues. As much as I enjoyed Sophie were never told her background and why she was feared in town besides being a witch. We never get Oscar's side of the story. Annie whined about her issues and essentially Sophie became her new obsession.

I see where she helped her but she also wasn't the greatest friend either and it was quiet unhealthy and their was a power dynamic involved until Sophie came until her own.

 

Annie kept wondering if she was just oblivious and yes I feel she is definitely in her relationship and in her friendship.

I still enjoyed the read and was hopefuly and felt that it was wrapped up neatly but could've dug deeper as well.
