Yall I was SPOOKED. 

I’ll be at fast paced at the beginning of the book. I felt that sometimes there was stagnant areas in the middle that resulted in a medium pace, making me lose interest here and there. However, this was a fantastic read and would recommend for anyone who enjoys a haunted house vibe. Hoping  the rumors are true and this actually makes it to Netflix 🤞🏾
