There are some really spooky parts to this book, but just not enough for me to find it as haunting as her other 2 books I have read. I really liked the haunted house aspect, and those were the scenes that actually scared me. I liked Shea, the main character, and I think Beth Greer, a recluse who lives in this haunted house, is a very likable person, even when Shea and the author try to make her seem harsh and unlovable. I gave 3 stars because I feel like the ending belonged to a different book. There’s this whole cliff scene, and then a park scene, and then a body found… it just didn’t make sense to me why it went in this direction. Or why Shea is so mad at Beth for what she did to her sister. I think Beth made the right choice! Putting an end to a serial killer is 100% okay in my book. I’m still going to read St. James, but this is not one I would recommend.
