 Just a quick little ghost story. It was fast but enjoyable.

 I had a great time reading this book. It's slower paced with good character development. I did not expect the ending early at all either.

I tried so incredibly hard to get into this but I just couldn't. The writing was well done but the story itself I could not bring myself to care about at all.

The mystery had me curious enough to finish it but the whole story was just so bloated for me that I struggled to finish it. Took 360 pages to get to the good stuff and then leaves on a cliffhanger. I don't think I can be bothered to read the next one
