Took awhile to get into it. Very spooky and nerve racking. Felt like a horror movie. Didn’t know what was going to happen. Good narration.

Mina is a child psychologist drawn to a unique case. A town believes teenage Alice is being haunted by a witch. Mina and journalist, Sam, are working together to determine if this is a mental health issue, an attempt to grab attention and financial gain, or if Alice just might be the key to conversing with the dead. Both Mina and Sam have people they would like to connect with who have passed away.

This was slow paced and suspenseful. While there were chilling aspects, I kept waiting for more and never got that “something” I thought this book would have. At times I wondered if maybe it was because the narrator was too…hmm, maybe soft, to bring across the menacing feel I was expecting.

This will be good if you like suspense, a little bit of horror, but overall a more tame type of scary.
