I really wanted to like this book but it was unfortunately just boring for me. Everything happens exactly how you'd expect it to.
This book was strange because it feels like it would have been better as a movie. The way the author wrote many of the scenes included things that would be jump scares if it was on tv, but lacked the impact when reading the scene. Additionally I have no idea what genre this book is. There are horror elements but the book is largely from the perspective of a ghost so the lack of mystery around her character removes all the spookiness.

i have the hardcover and read it over a year ago but i loved it so when i saw the new cover i knew i wanted a copy. i finally got around to rereading it and it was even better than i remembered. i feel like this story has a little bit of everything. it's creepy at times and there's some really cool scenes that get a little gory. i could picture some of them as if i was watching a horror movie and it made the experience so fun. aside from the horror aspect, there's some tenderness and redemption and healing and family and of course revenge. it's definitely a book that i'll be reading again
