You're telling me the ghost wasn't real???

This was a really fun read, VERY melodramatic, very dark.
For me it was quite balanced in the way the characters were unlikable but not enough to despise them completely,

even Erik. I just couldn't take him seriously at all and he just made me laugh. The way he talks and acts, the ghost role-playing, the weird-ass traps, the SUDDEN ALL CAPS BECAUSE HE'S VERY EMOTIONAL OKAY. I just found him funny. Am I the odd one here? 😅 Still, poor Christine, she did NOT deserve any of that.
