This book follows a recently graduated child psychologist named Mina who is still grieving the loss of her brother and having second thoughts about her engagement to her fiancé. Mina meets a journalist named Sam at a bereavement group where he proposes that she come with him to help solve a case involving a witch haunting. She agrees to help against her fiancé's wishes and joins Sam. Throughout their investigation, the reader is left unsure of whether or not this is a true haunting or if there is an alternate explanation.

I thought the characters were really well done in this book and I liked Mina a lot. The ending was exciting and the whole book kept me engaged throughout.

This was an extremely atmospheric and unnerving read that has you second guessing what you're reading and what you believe. This book satisfied my craving for a spooky, haunting read and I ended up binge-listening to it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me access to this audiobook. The narrator, Ana Clements, did a fantastic job with this story.
