I really enjoyed this! I do think it was too long and lost momentum at the end (it also just became more action-y that I necessarily wanted), but the first third especially was just ENTHRALLING and I could not put it down. For sure interested to read something centered around Holly as well.

This book was one of my favorite reads. It has a good mixture of crime and supernatural elements. I'd say anyone who is a fan of true crime would love this book.
