I was very excited about this book, because I love horror and ghost stories a lot and this one sounded great. I especially love a story about a haunting of the house the protagonist is in and they need to dig into the history to figure out what happened which really set me up to be excited about this one. I was pretty disappointed to find that this book read more like a middle grade than a young adult and didn’t seem to bring anything new to the storyline which has been told before. It wasn’t bad, but I think my disappointment was sharper since it had sounded so good when I had read the description. The characters lacked development and relationships between all of the characters were equally shallow which led to me to not be very invested in the story. I did not think this book was even spooky let alone scary and had really hoped for a little more. Overall I gave this one 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 stars.
