I gave this book 3.5 stars, which was disappointing because I really thought it’d be a 5 star read for me. I love the setup of the story and the overall plot, plus I can’t get enough of books that develop a suspenseful tone through an ominous setting, but this was just a little slow paced for me.

On top of that, I’m not super into ghost stories. I really enjoy books that allude to the possibility of the supernatural, or the supernatural seems to be at play before a real life circumstance comes into the light, but this story hinges on the suspension of your disbelief when it comes to ghosts which just isn’t for me.

I almost put it down about halfway through once I realized this and was feeling bogged down by the pacing, but I pushed through. What I did like about this book was it’s unapologetic spotlighting of badass women. That I can get down with.

So overall while this wasn’t my ideal thriller, it wasn’t bad and if you’re into ghost stories I think you’d really like it.
