I don't usually like haunting stories but I picked this one up and I am so glad I did. The main character is flawed and I found myself not liking her as much as I felt I should, which upon reflection is a refreshing change. Jackson did a great job of slowly revealing the plots of the haunted house, Mari's past mistakes and trauma and the dark history of the old town our family has moved into. The book is layered, well written and some scenes creeped me hell out but it was well worth it to get to the end.............. Kinda hoping there will be another one????????
