I decided that for the month of October I want to try and share reviews that are all spooky in some way. Yesterday I posted about a collection of spooky stories and today I want to delve into the paranormal. I love a good ghost story and this one did not disappoint!

I did feel the ending came at me really fast and I really was just left wanting more. So let’s get to the review.
