What I Didn’t Like:

There’s a few morally righteous or “religious” characters in this story who have an openly negative opinion of the lesbian characters. That was hard to read. I also didn’t love the way it was never really resolved. It’s even implied that those characters were right but misguided … which I really didn’t love.
I wanted the creepy stuff slowed down a little. It seems to rush, letting the contemporary story lines take the majority of the time. I wanted the paranormal stuff to linger, build the tension.
The ending leaves a lot of unanswered questions, which I’m fine with. But if you’re the kind of reader who likes all the answers, be warned.

There’s a lot of details provided. They don’t detract from the story, instead making it easy for the reader to picture exactly what is being described.
This has a twist on the traditional haunted house tale that I hadn’t seen before. It’s interesting! This could be explored more, almost turned into a series of sorts. Definitely something unique.
Ed is a good character. Sucked into this world and dragged along, he’s perfect for leading us through this story.

Fans of haunted house stories who are eager for something they haven’t seen before.
