This was a quick read for me! I was very interested in this woman. I didn’t realize she was 18?! Until halfway through when she learns she might not make it to 19. I saw her as an old woman which interferes with the love interest aspect later for me. But I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen to everyone in this creepy haunted house. I’m not 100% sure her moms story was necessary to be included? But it was. The big twist makes up for it! I recommend it as an interesting mystery book.
