Premise was off to a good start...but that's about it. No good plot twist, not enough tension and story building. Just a lot of angst and meh?

It’s a horror book with messy histories between its characters. They go and mess with stuff they probably shouldn’t have messed with because they love going to haunted or supposedly haunted places. There is gruesome material as it plays out.casparquarius's review against another edition

Cat's friends don't quite know how to treat her after she spent some time in psychiatric care for depression but her best friend Faiz wanted her to be at his wedding. He is marrying Talia, who always dreamed of getting married in a haunted house. So their friend Philip rented out a Heian manor house and volunteered to be their priest. But trying to hold a nontraditional yet happy wedding is tempting fate in a building where a young bride was once buried alive to forever wait her husband who was never to arrive.
The writing was very poetic and i liked the imagery of all the mythic Japanese monsters, but I felt like there could have been more suspense in a longer-foem story.
