The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 70%.

Solid meh. Didn’t care about characters. Didn’t care about setting. Was like 60 pages from the end and realized “nothing can happen at this point to make me enjoy this book.”

Read this to get myself in Halloween spirit and it didn’t disappoint. A lot of moments left me feeling very anxious for the characters and what was going to happen. I saw a different twist coming at the end, so kudos to the author for leaving me surprised!
