The characters in this book were great. I loved how they existed both in the human world, and the ghost world. Each character was fun to follow because they were all so different.

I'm not a horror reader, and this book was spooky. I loved the old house atmosphere, and how it was used as a way to tell the story.
Writing-10
I loved the writing in this! I thought the writing style was great, and that the story really had a flow.
Plot-9
I loved this story! I found it fast-paced, and this was the first MG Horror I've read. I would read more as long as I knew beforehand that I wouldn't be scared. This story was more creepy than scary to me, and it was the perfect mix of a fun story to follow, and uncovering the mystery of the house.
