I didn’t care for this one as much as I did the first. There was a lot of unnecessary recaps going on from events in book 1.

The characters were more bothersome this time around, and the constant whine for “I need to call my grandma” was grueling. Harper took very little initiative because she so heavily relied on calling her grandma for everything spiritual related, I get that she is a kid but it was overkill. And it wasn’t until she had absolutely no choice but to do it on her own that she finally did anything.

The whole demon aspect could have been interesting but ultimately you don’t really get much besides visions of the past and how they hurt a bunch of adults.

And the loss of the Rose was honestly something that super irritated me, why go through all the trouble to bring her back into Harpers life, just to take her away again, it honestly made me super angry.

Also the return of a missing parent just spontaneously happening was such a poor choice.

And again, avoid the audiobook, I don’t like to say a narrator is horrible goodness gracious the lady who does these needs to stop. She is so inconsistent with her voices and at one point I’m pretty certain she mixed up Harper and her sister Kelly. She makes listening frustrating.
