Horrid

Whoa! This book was more than I expected. The characters were well developed even if I didn't like them in the end. Their mental illnesses felt real because they weren't all consuming. There were stretches of time where everything was under control and life was just flowing along. And then there were moments when they were overwhelmed by it. I read this story as mental illness plus ghosts and I really enjoyed it and the ending because I read it that way. If you read it differently, then your enjoyment level might change. I can't give it 5 stars though because in the end, I didn't like many of the characters. To be fair, I don't think we are supposed to like them. Overall it was enjoyable and scary.
