Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. This novel has so much potential; super interesting concept and world building and lots of gore. I was way more interested in the ghost's life than the MC who seemed to only be interested in defining her life around motherhood.
In the end it got bogged down with too much detail and repetition for me. There was definitely information that was repeated so often that I found myself going I know! when reading it for the third or fourth time.
