Yikes. I am glad this wasn't my first SJ book. If it had been I doubt I would have read anything else. So many people enjoy this but it just didn't work for me. I mean sure I love how Merricat is totally out there and bizarre, but that's about it. I feel like nothing really happened and it was pretty predictable as well. I'm pretty bummed I didn't love this one or really even like it at all. Nothing really eerie or haunting. The mystery wasn't even mysterious enough. Just an overall feeling of "Meh, next." with this one.
