Review:

Good book, but had read this kind of story before

Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading The keeper by Guadalupe Garcia McCall. I'm listening to the audiobook. I'm reading this for the Year in Aeldia challenge with the prompt: scary/dark book. Wasn't in the mood for anything adult, so choose this one. This is a middle grade mystery book (but might be horror? we shall see).

Enjoying this so far. Like the dynamic between brother and sister. The vibes are good, very mysterious. Not very far into it, so can't say much about the story yet. Do think I will enjoy the book overall. 

The ending lost me a little bit, but overall a good book. I have read a book very similar to this one, so that probably also was why I did not enjoy it fully. That book was adult, so went more towards horror, which was more fun than this one.
