This was so good, I couldn’t put it down. There were so many things that happened that I did not expect in the least. It was a wild ride, especially the last 100 pages or so. This book goes to show that you never know the lengths someone will go to protect their own interests and cover up their own lies and deceit.

OMFG! This book is insane! Extremely good! Fast-paced and creative. I don't want to spoil it, but damn, this was a good read. I couldn't stop reading. The spirit stuff was creepy, and the drawings, omg, it's wild. The audiobook companion helped a lot. Wow! Jason, it would be amazing if you wrote more books, my man. Thank you for the ride❤️🔥 Mallory Quinn, the Maxwells,  Caroline, Ted, Teddy. The revelations were astonishing💕

Quick and easy read, but predictable. Ending felt unsatisfying.
