This cover is the perfect mix of unserious and spooky and gives off a vibe similar to those old timey movie trailers? My only complaint? The stuff in the cup looks more like a thick chocolate ganache than it does blood.
Arden Lozano Flack used to have everything planned out. And they make a plan for her to join them in their realty business, even though she has no interest in doing so.
And then they split up, unable to collaboratively decide on what to do with the supposedly haunted mansion. Little does she know that the house has more in mind for the teens than just a wild night of celebration. I get Arden. But when a setback happens, she practically falls apart.
I was a lot like her coming out of high school. I had big aspirations and the overconfidence to think it was what I wanted. But once I got into college, I realized it was OK to fail. It was OK not to be the best at everything. Arden has to experience something massively traumatic to come to this realization while I just had to squeak my way through a computer programming class.
But she gets it in the end, and her life will be all the better for it. And not in an enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers sort of way; his need to constantly correct everyone and one-up everyone in conversation is annoying, to say the least. Anderson has a great comedic wit that shines, even through a novel about gruesome murders and paranormal frights.
