Thanks to NetGalley for the arc in exchange for a review.
This is a eerie read without even getting to the eerie part of the book. The atmosphere of this really brings out that autumn oooo vibe.
I really like parts of the premise for this, especially the fact that the main character has visions - you don't get a lot of books with this ability displayed.
I think one of the issues was that the two main characters, Lee and Murphy, sounded much younger to begin with - more like children than teenagers.
Another thing was, it wasn't that special to me. It didn't particular wow me in any sense. It does dips in places especially in the middle of the book and I was a bit like 'okay, now what? What's actually happening? Not much...'
Classed as 'horror' but it's really not. Spooky? A little. Horror? Nope.
Not a bad read but not amazing.
