I found this an interesting and VERY creepy read. The exposition and resolution of the haunting was very satisfying—and the groundwork for it was laid both subtly and thoroughly, so that the ending gave that feeling of surprise and “oh, of COURSE!” I feel like it’s hard to manage both, and G.H. did a great job. The family dynamics were super well handled and by the end were the best part of the book. Turns out murder puppets aren’t my thing though. First book I’ve found legitimately scary.
