This was a good old fashioned spooky haunted house story. I liked the moxie of the main character Mara, and her refusal to let her trauma define her, except oops it does. Lol. The male lead was my favorite, both for his want to be there for her, and for his insistence on taking care of her when she really wasn't taking care of herself. I do wish the author had explored more of Mara's backstory, but she is really a formulaic writer. The story was good anyway. The only true dislike I had was the lack of explanation of all the ghosts. I love backstory ala Thirteen Ghosts!
