What’s it going to be: death or hunting?
Zora Novak has been framed.
When someone burns down the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer. There’s one big problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy, and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead. The arsonist was never caught.
Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville’s ghost stories before she becomes one herself.
With a compelling cast of memorable characters, a vivid small-town setting, and elements of a classic whodunit, Now Entering Addamsville is perfect for fans of Brittany Cavallaro, Victoria Schwab, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

I'm finished but don't know how to rate it or what my feelings about it even are. I'm just confused, okay?

After simmering on this for awhile I have a more solid idea of why this wasn't for me. How the story was pitched wasn't quite the story we got. I was more prepared for minor ghosts and a bigger mystery. It was heavier on supernatural than I had thought.
I didn't feel really engaged throughout the story. I realized at some points I had to go back and re-read. A gripe I had was how spelled out certain things were like the class dynamic between Zora and Artemis. To me it kind of underplayed readers being able to pick up on those nuances by themselves.
3.5 STARS!!!!!
this book actually creeped me out a few times and i was too scared to listen to it while trying to fall asleep. (i'm terrified of ghosts)
2.5 rounded to 3
I made it through 6hrs of audio but I just don't care to finish. I was only listening for a challenge but even though this is supposed to be YA horror it's boring and nothing much is happening. I wanted more ghosts!
