This book felt like watching a good thriller/horror movie with lots of well-handled social commentary. I couldn't put it down after I started it. I think my favorite part - besides how fun it was to read the book - is that it makes you face your (internalised in my case) homophobia. I think the best way to read this book too is without knowing much about it.

Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for an e-arc and an ALC of this book!

When Logan is forced to temporarily move to Snakebite, Oregon for her dads' ghost-hunting show, she doesn't expect what they will find. The small town is plagued by more than just small-minded people, and Logan will have to team up with town-sweetheart, Ashley in order to discover what is really at play.

I loved this book! It was the perfect amount of spooky for me and I really loved the twists and turns! I especially loved to see Logan and Ashley slowly getting to know each other better through their sleuthing. I loved the way things turned out with Logan's dads and am so glad things worked out the way they did. This was the perfect sapphic ghost story for me!
