A creepy doll room, a mysterious journal that has some pretty weird stuff written down in it’s pages, a snarky protagonist, and a cute dog? This was an immediate pick for book club. 

The writing style in the book was so conducive to sitting down and just binging it. And adding the element of a dog being involved meant I HAD to know what was going to happen. 

Though it wasn’t shake-in-your-boots scary, the unsettling feeling that permeated throughout the entire story made this a great spooky read. I also loved the elements of comedic levity from Mouse’s editorial quips to literally everything about Foxy. This was definitely a fun read.
