What a fantastic, dreadful little story! I really love horror tales involving characters dealing with the aftermath of lost loved ones, but this story took things to a new level with the mystery surrounding what was happening in Cara's mother's house — and, more importantly, *why* it was happening. I was fully invested and couldn't put this novella down.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the writing felt a bit stilted at times, especially during the dialogue. That said, I definitely recommend this story and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Thank you to the author & BookSirens for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
