I had big hopes for this haunted house story. In general, I liked it.. there were few things that got my eyes rolling hehehe but apart from that it was ok. Can’t say I felt scared or anxious, this book didn’t evoke any strong feelings or emotions. I think I’d like it better if it was more of The Others vibes, which I thought was direction it was going in. Slightly disappointed that it didn’t but overall a good ghost story. Will I be reading book 2? Probably not but at the same time I’m not upset about reading this one :)
