Really disappointed by this. I wanted the shit scared out of me, but there was a huge focus on familial loss. Of course I knew that would be present given the synopsis, but it felt like the main point of the story. There have only been a couple creepy moments and they had to do with...possessed puppets and taxidermied squirrels? I wish I was joking. The antagonist is a possessed puppet. As someone who grew up personifying her stuffed animals, this was just weird for me. You'd think the scariness would be worse, but it was just...weird. I'm disappointed and doubt I'll come back to it. I want to know the explanation of everything, but not desperately enough to suffer through the rest of the book.
