Okay, I started this as an audiobook and I’m so glad I switched to the digital copy instead (shoutout to my library for having both available at the same time) because there’s no way I would have been sleeping after listening to this whole book. It’s super creepy!
This was an excellent spooky season read - it’s got haunted vibes, mixed with a mystery, mixed with relatable drama in a newly blended family. I was truly not expecting to be as creeped out as I was (in the best way). I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say my biggest complaint is that the ending felt very rushed and open to interpretation vs being tied up nicely.
