For those that can, this is a haunted house horror book about family bonds, bugs, vultures, and gardening. And some creepy stuff too, but that's up to you find out what it is!
Overall I enjoyed this book, T. Kingfisher's writing is again, just a really nice reading experience. Her way with words is entertaining and also inspiring. I was thinking this story was going to be quiet? horror? but no, its not, just wait till the twist lol.
If you like horror, give it a try!Â

I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU T. KINGFISHER WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!
Minor: Fatphobia, Alcohol, and Racism
If you're extremely squeamish about insects you should probably not read this. As for the fatphobia warning the main character is subjected to fatphobia and talks about fatphobia A LOT. But I don't think the book itself is fatphobic.
