Great idea and the execution at the beginning was enjoyable but the rest of the story is like getting a face full of mud. It starts off as a horror story with supernatural elements from a child’s perspective. I found this section to be the best part of the book. It had all the right horror elements and some great scenes. The main character is bully and not very likable, I was hoping this would change over the course of the book but sadly it doesn’t.
My issue with the book is the jump in timeline where this is all a dream in the main characters now adult mind. There is even another switch up later in the book. I really hated this decision by the author. I would have much preferred to stick with one boy’s fight against supernatural forces and a haunted house. The new situation was boring and almost completely removed from the first part. There is almost too much going on and keeping it simple would have been better.
