This book was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It was recommended to me by a customer service associate at Elliot Bay Bookstore for my choice for the bookclub this round. We did books based in the states and I chose Oregon.
Logan Ortiz-Woodley is the daughter of popular gay ghost hunters. She returns with her dads to their hometown b/c something is up and it's terrorizing the community. They aren't welcome, btw and some believe her dads are the cause of the problem.
The story deals with being different in a small town and the loneliness that can happen when you think everyone is out to get you. It's also a very CW-esque horror/romance story. It didn't feel too serious and perfect for the YA/New Adult crowd. Being that it is YA/New adult, we get so much emo. It's a lot but it's expected for the genre.
