It's been a minute since my last read from @fulltimehorrorjunkie, and dammit if she didn't go and write a ghost/haunting story that isn't really extreme horror!
I was thrown for a loop. But in a GOOD way.
Things start off with a group of youngsters who have been warned to stay away from an abandoned house in the woods, which obviously means it has to be explored right?
After things go horribly wrong (as is to be expected duh) we catch up to some of the kids as adults, where (as is to be expected duh), things are about to go horribly wrong again.
That's all I'll say to avoid the spoilers. This was a great and quick read that actually did have some jump scare moments that worked well (which typically only happens in film). There was also a great twist at the end, which is exactly what quick books like this need.
Huge fan of this one and I can't wait to read more from Judith!
