Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm always very happy about an ARC and being able to give it a review! <3
I never thought that you could immerse yourself in a book and that it would immediately trigger such intense emotions!
Every single story is written in an interesting and exciting way and I love how the individual stories merge into one.
Great idea, the characters are well implemented and the emotions are conveyed just perfect!
If you like time travel stories like I do, then this story is perfect for you.

The cover looks so damn cool with the colors and the two girls and the blurb sounded really interesting too.
Unfortunately, the story didn't quite work for me. The protagonist was too annoying and insecure for me. Her inner monologues annoyed me more than me listening carefully.
There were also too many characters in the story that appeared randomly... without a big backstory or the characters being well developed.
The basic story just didn't grab me enough and at some point I didn't care what happened to Mimi...
Too bad... unfortunately it wasn't quite my book.

I'm so glad I finally got to read this book. A podcaster who comes back to his old home to clarify what is happening in his old house? Sounds right up my alley.
The book doesn't have any unnecessary lengths - it gets straight to the point. It was scary and made it hard to sleep.I thought the story was great, the characters too... everything just fit together really good.I could also imagine that the audiobook for the book would be great - the podcast episodes were totally creepy! I can really imagine the interviews and the inexplicable and creepy noises.
The picture of the house at the end and the story about it gave me goosebumps. I won't forget this book anytime soon! An absolute must read if you want to be scared!

Never judge a book by its cover :)
An extremely sweet illustrated story for small children with an important message. I had a lot of fun reading it and would definitely recommend it to many parents.
