I absolutely think this is a perfect spooky horror for readers who want something that has deeper themes within the plot that add to the creepy vibes. At one point I thought that the whole thing was going to be explained by a trauma response. I am so glad it wasn't that. Although, don't get it twisted... there is definitely trauma happening throughout to all of the characters in different ways that are much deeper and grounded in "reality" than the spooky stuff. 
I also really appreciated that the characters weren't flat and they all had their own struggles and frustrations. I felt everything on the spectrum of feeling towards each of these characters including the kid. My only thing that I would change if I could... is the ending.... it felt inevitable from about half way through. However, I didn't lose hope that it could go the way I would have chosen so it didn't disappoint too much when it went how it seemed like it would.
