This took me a long time to read. There were good parts and somewhat boring parts. I wasn't really surprised by who was involved with Deb's death, but Sonia's was a bit weird.
It is a creepy ghost story, but at the same time, I didn't think it was very unique.

I really liked this and I am shocked at how such disparate parts came together so cohesively! Honestly the only thing I didn't like was Jamie, not because I ever thought he was a bad dude but because of how he behaved when he took Fiona to dinner with his parents. The fact that he's been telling his father all of her very personal details (and the way this never blows back on him bothered me so, so, so, so, so much. That Fiona is the villain of that dinner, and she lets herself be was INFURIATING) and the fact that he believes Fiona is probably goading his father and not the other way around. How does that make any sense? This dude has literally fancast his life with another son in it so no way on Earth could he have treated Jamie well and he came off like a bully because he was one so how do you take his side over Fiona's? It made the romance aspect really not work for me. The fact that she was so excited and yearning to see him again at the end was genuinely disappointing. Girl, his father tried to murder you and only a week ago he was saying you 'misunderstood' and he 'wouldn't try to bait you on purpose,' that is not a dude you get excited about.

Kinda slow moving. Hoped for a creepier story!

My first St James book was The Sun Down Motel and because I loved that one so much, I was eager to pick up another book of hers. While I did enjoy this, I found the ending to be predictable and the plot twist was not at all a plot twist; the writing is good, the characters are fun (minus Jamie, can’t stand that guy) but overall I expected more.
