I loved how this book used tropes from horror movies.

I enjoy watching horror movies... a little. Mostly, I’m just scared while they’re on, but I have been watching more lately because my youngest daughter loves them. Griffis does a great job of using her understanding of horror movies from beginning to end.

Also, Audre, the main character, has a loving and supportive family and I enjoyed reading that. So often in YA the main character’s family is absent or abusive and I liked seeing this family’s love clearly on the page.
