Think, Monster House meets The Amityville Horror and throw in some characters of color and queer representation. It’s a fun and quick read that definitely makes me glad I never threw (or attended a house party) because with my luck, it would have turned out just like this one.
For the most part, I enjoyed reading this book. I found the beginning to be a bit slow and some parts to be predictable, but it’s a YA haunted house horror, so we are bound to get a bit of predictability. here were quite a few instances that I was surprised and anxious to see what would happen next and if our main characters would indeed make it out alive… If you want to know the answer to that, you’ll have to read to find out.
