For me, this was just okay. I just couldn’t get into it; however, I listened to it in the summer and wasn’t really in the mindset for a spooky/ghost book when I read it so it was hard to get invested. I think I could have liked it a lot more had I read it around Halloween or in the winter.

Great book until the rushed ending and not all plot points are explained. 
I found the 1908 parts much more enjoyable then present day. 
Some of the characters decisions didn’t match who they were in my opinion.
