Ah, I love a good atmospheric mystery every now and again, and this one was just that. The pacing on this book was definitely on the slower side, which for me means I have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy. When I did get my mind in the right space to enjoy this one, I did just that, enjoy it. The pacing, while slow, felt deliberate, and allowed me to be fully immersed in the atmosphere. The writing made me feel like I was right there with the characters. I loved that the main character of this book was a writer because I enjoy reading about authors and other book lovers. In this case she wrote true crime, which just added to the spooky vibes of this book, why? Because I find true crime to be rather spooky. The mixed media in this book was also a nice touch and really added to the story. In this book there were interviews and audio recordings. The character growth over the course of this book was also fantastic and nice to see.

If you are looking for a fantastic debut with an utterly eerie setting, then you need to check this one out.
