Very good read! I found this to be an interesting different take on a ghost story with a few twists and exciting ending with loose ends sewn up. It was fast paced with a lot action. I finished the book in a couple of sittings.

I love Joe Hill. He’s one of my favorite authors but this wasn’t a clear winner for me. I enjoyed parts of it though such as the description of the ghosts and I loved Anna’s character.

This book was bad to a point where it became exhausting

Made me keep going back for more, and got a little lost in it sometimes. I can sort of see why people don't like the ending, but I didn't mind it. I feel like it could have definitely gone more menacing than it did, but I didn't hate how he ended it.

It started off alright, by the end I found myself just hating all the characters for making incredibly stupid decisions.
