For the most part, I loved the vibes of this book. Part horror, part thriller, part mystery, part mythology, more than a dash of Lovecraft.

Former teen detectives Andy, Kerri, Nate, and the every trusty sleuths canine Tim are haunted by their last case. It has been following them like a shadow through to their adulthood. Andy decides it’s time to face the past because the case that haunts them isn’t over yet.

Overall I’d say this book was ok. I really, really liked it. Until I didn’t. I thought the character development was good. There were just enough twists, turns, feints, and surprises to keep you engaged. And I always love the inclusion of myths and legends.
My issue came with the fight scenes. Literally page after page one giant run on sentence. I had to read, reread, and then read them again a third time to process what was happening. There were no breaks, no transitions. Honestly, it would have been better to have an AI generated reenactment of the scenes embedded in a QR code.
I found them so hard to follow that I came close to putting the book down and not picking it back up.

But other than that, I thought this was a great blend of Scooby Doo and Stranger Things.
