Okay, so honestly I was a bit on the fence about this one because the description didn’t sound like it was gonna be quite my thing. But then I saw the author talking about the book on social media and I immediately put it on hold at my library. The back of the book makes it sound like it’s going to go in once sinister direction while it ends up going in a completely different direction.

I mean, Venita is terrifying. But also not at all what the cover copy would lead you to expect.

This is not the kind of scary that The Family Plot was. I didn’t have to read this one during the day to finish it and still have a hope of sleeping at night. It was more gentle. Less terrifying and more spooky. With ghosts you want to cheer for and humans you want to grab by the shoulder and shake.

I really enjoyed this one. I devoured it in like two days. If you like a good haunted house story and would rather hug the ghosts than fight them, this is the book for you!
