First (!!) read of the month and I loved it. I’ve been in a heavy slump, not enjoying a lot of what I picked up, and this one fixed me. The first person narrative is used absolutely perfectly to reveal what’s going on in the house and unfold the story. At first it felt like a comedy - the MC is very matter-of-fact about the creepy goings on, and tbh she loves having the company in her haunted house. But then you get to thinking about why someone might feel comfortable living with monsters. I absolutely recommend checking the TWs, but if you’re up for it, I think this book was really good.
