I discovered T. Kingfisher's work with this book. I have so much fun reading this during my spooky season last october. It's an easy fast read but still with a good plot and a great character development. Something that I love with T. Kingfisher, whatever books I read from them it's the characters (at least for their horror books, I didn't read her YA fantasy and kid books). Especially in this one. Mouse is my favorite of their character, she's witty, easy going, the weirdo introvert bookish type (yeah I can relate here that's why i rooted for her easily), curious and funny. Really lovable. I loved pretty much all the characters in this books especially. I'm not easily freaked out, that's why I like horror read so much, it's a challenge to find reads that can make me scare jump and it there is those witty characters typical from horror book, even better. Here you got it. I made the stupid mistake to read that alone in the dark when I was chilling for a weekend in an Airbnb pretty remote in the wood in Bulgaria and, damn, I jumped at every noise. not the most scary book I read, but the kind which built your paranoia and the atmosphere to make you jump even when it wasn't attended and then makes you laugh at yourself (but with unease). One of my favorite books so far in the genre.
