i thought at first it was more of a tame haunted house read but by the end i knew it was so much more.
i could appreciate how each character is written differently and they all had their own flaws. in the end it teaches a lesson of how everyone’s human, and forgiving and growing forward is important. also not being afraid to speak out.
something else i liked about the book was how mari’s “incident” was hinted towards and was slowly revealed towards the end of the book.

Get Out meets The Boy
Really enjoyed this one, I was so invested in the audio i ended up working on auto-pilot through my shifts so i could pay attention, Marcella Cox did an amazing job as the narrator.
Mari's anxiety spirals felt very realistic, as well as her issues with Piper, Mari felt and acted like her age. It's also nice to read a YA that didn't feature any romance (I feel like it happens all the time in YA of any genre especially with an FMC). the time was instead spent working resolving Mari's issues and exploring the environment.
This was a great read and I'll be keeping my eye out for a physical copy to add to my haunted house collection.
