*“I think it’s just easier to call someone crazy than it is to admit that they could be right. Easier to call someone crazy than to confront the nuance of their circumstance, than to accept the callous cruelty that exists in the world we live in, the evil out there that revels in our suffering.” * What I loved: ✿ haunted house renovation ✿ unreliable narrator ✿ flawed female lead Once again Rachel surprises me with her ability to merge real life traumas with the paranormal or horrifying, making you question what's scarier: the monster in your closet or the family secrets it uses against you. This is probably my favorite of hers yet. Highly recommend this if you enjoy unreliable horror stories with modern flair and wit.

In a sea of 3 star reads this month, I finally found a gem. This was such a great read, my fav from this author thus far. I love a good haunted house story just as much as I love a haunted family and this one really delivered. There was mystery and intrigue, and romance, the perfect combo for a spooky season (or any really) read. 🌶️ 2/5 Really wasnt expecting romance in this but loved that it was weaved in nicely with girl next door vibes.
