Another great YA Horror novel from Sambury! I love how she writes family and, specially, sibling dynamics and how complex they always are. The writing here was excellent as always and fully worked to bring up tension and emotion to the story.
The book was mostly told from Sunny's perspective and she was a fascinating character. There was so much going on with her in relation to her family and what she thought they expected her to be/how to act and it was intriguing to read about her journey deconstructing that.
The plot in regard to the murders was also exciting! It kept me on my toes throughout the entire book and had quite a few twists that caught me off guard. Some pretty messed up things happened and to see it all come together was very satisfying. I just found the milk thing to be a little lame lol
