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 really liked the beginning of this but like I didn’t care for where it went. I wish it just followed the ghost and her killing disgusting men. The characters were fine but I didn’t really care about them. I did feel bad for the ghost though. Also I think it’s because I was listening to the audiobook but I kept getting confused about who was narrating.
