“I’ll come right out and say it,” Mercy told them. “Strange noises, bad vibes, your mom and dad recently passed— Your house is haunted and I’m not selling it until you deal with that.”
Wow, I think this is my favorite out of all the books I’ve read by Grady Hendrix.
The only reason I went with a four and a half is because the slow bit near the middle.
Puppets have always sorta creeped me out since sloppy from the goosebumps series and this book only solidifies it.
I wasn’t expecting to tear up as much as I did at the end.
And Mark! I absolutely hated him at the beginning but started to like him a lot as we neared the ending.
Grady is so amazing at writing characters that feel like real people and this book is no exception.
