This book was devastating and haunting. Beautifully written. I loved both Robbie and Gloria's narratives throughout. I think that everything with the haints was incredibly well done.
This book definitely kept me in my toes. I started this book as part of my Summerween and it was the only book I read that had me feeling genuinely tense and on the edge of my seat. I really liked how it ended + I don't think there could've been a better way to wrap up everything.
I'm glad I picked this book up!
