I actually found this to be a unique take on a ghost story (but keep in mind i don’t typically read books with ghost elements) and it initially reminded me of season 1 of american horror story. 

this is definitely feels like a slower paced mystery because the main mystery takes a backseat as you beginner progressing through the different storylines of the side characters. i will say, i didn’t love the mc and since everything is narrated through her, sometimes id be frustrated with her commentary—but what can ya do? overall a chill, haunting read
