The idea was great and it made it all the more frustrating that the execution was really lackluster. It felt like I was reading a really fleshed out outline instead of a finished story

Thank goodness the title of this book is clever, and the cover is cute. Sheesh. That's all it has going for it. The story was underwritten. It had potential but felt like I was reading someone's first draft. Should have been fleshed out. The characters were flat. I didn't care about them or what happened to them, and overall I was disappointed. It's like ordering a cheeseburger and just getting a bun with ketchup on it.

Rounded up from 1.5 ⭐️’s.
I was attracted to this book because of the cover (gorgeous art!) and the story’s description seemed intriguing. Unfortunately this read more like a first or second draft than a published novel. I still gave two stars because the bones of the story were good and was a new perspective on the overdone haunted house trope. I truly hope the author has the opportunity to work with a new editor or writing coach.
📚 Amateur dialogue
📚 Incomplete character development
📚 Redundant descriptions
📚 Disjointed plot connections
📚 Abrupt transitions
📚 Missing narrative (needed for understanding)
📚 Basic spelling/grammar mistakes (for example the word “patients” was used instead of “patience”)
Also, the title is not relevant to the plot AT ALL.

Okay. First—I am not at ALL trying to direct this review toward the author as a person. I try to talk story first, concepts next, grammar/structure rarely if it calls for it (this last point is often tricky as it feels more personal, hence why I avoid it). But for this one I have to talk about it.
The literal construction of this novella was where it fell about for me and the rest followed. Badly constructed sentences that I often had to read twice to decipher. Sentences that switched between past and present tense indiscriminately within the same sentence—not within narrative to dialogue, either, but fully narrative sentences. And then some oddly stilted dialogue clinched the experience.
Not for me, but these issues might not bother another reader. And the art for this cover is stunning—5 stars to that designer!

Due to the title and blurb, I thought this was going to be a horror with some satire on the side, and I was super excited to read this. It's not influencing my rating, but it wasn't really what I hoped it would be.
The concept was great and very creative, but the execution not as much. The writing just wasn't for me.

This had potential. Between the continual errors, (spelling, wrong words), and very, very stilted and inconsistent dialogue, this was just not it. The characters all seemed very flat, and the mom’s personality in particular was super inconsistent. Very grateful it was a free read.

I went in blind and assumed the title of the book would link the story to current events etc..No. However. Story was still good, characters likeable. 3/5

This book gave me major American Horror Story vibes, but not in a good way. Characters felt very disjointed, and the story felt extremely rushed. It honestly felt like this was a first draft of a story, with plenty of spelling and grammar errors. There was a great idea to the story, though! And the artwork for the cover was *chef's kiss* THAT's what drew me in!

The lack of proof reading is VERY evident. So many misuse of words, misplaced or missing words etc.
I couldn't get past the errors enough to enjoy this book.

1.5 stars~
This was definitely something. I didn’t feel really connected to any of the characters, and they all seemed very basic to me. The dialogue felt so weird to me, and it was really hard for me to get into this at all. I usually don’t mind a slight grammatical error but this book had so many it took me out of the story having to figure out what was meant. All that being said, the actual horror aspects when it came to descriptions did creep me out and have me scared to walk around the house alone (though I’m also scared easily so take that with a grain of salt), so it does get points from that aspect.

Ok i thought at first by the title it was gonna be a campy horror book, but it was a serious one. I could not put this down, it was great. Like yes definitely need to read, i loved the mystery and everything.

Wow! This book had me so hooked I read it in 2 hours! It gave such awesome details that left nothing to the imagination, you felt as if you were right there with the characters. I can’t wait to see what else the author comes up with and look forward to more releases!!

I love the cover and title of this one, but between the writing style and the amount of spelling/grammatical errors (and just plain wrong words used), I couldn’t continue on.

The story started off strong but seemed to just fall very far off towards the middle.

good book but not for me
The book itself is good, the story does capture your attention but I do feel like some of the information felt a little too crowded.

One star for the amazing title and the cool premise. This novella has potential but it desperately needs an editor. I said it before and I’ll say it again: I am not convinced this wasn’t entirely written via speech-to-text. I genuinely feel bad giving it one star because I know someone worked hard on this, but the sheer volume of errors was alarming. Again, a cool concept and some pretty gnarly deaths but yikes.

This was a good premise but it just fell a bit short. It could have done with being longer to flesh out the story and characters. It felt disjointed and unfinished by only being 100 pages

This story was all over the place. Super disappointing. It definitely reads more like a rough draft versus a finished story.
This could also definitely use another round of editing, the punctuation and grammar is all over the place.

The cover was cute and the title seemed promising. I only got 35% into the book and I had to DNF it. The grammar and sentence structure were sometimes hard to read.It felt like a very early draft a book that someone forgot to edit and polish. I liked the bones of the book but it got confusing reading descriptions to such an extent that I felt I had to DNF this. Usually I can go with the flow on a few errors and weird sentences, but this took me out of the story. Would really like to see this go back and properly edited and fleshed out because the story seems interesting.

This was a pretty unique haunted house story. A lot happened in such a short book. I thought it was fun. I think the author may have recently edited it because I didn't really see any of typos in this one. If you're looking for a different take on a haunted house story, I definitely recommend this book.

I got this book on a whim when there were free kindle books available. And WOW!
This book gave me AHS and Black Mirror vibes.
Don’t underestimate the colorful art on the cover. The story line was wild from start to finish. I had no idea what was going to happen next.
This short story had me creeped out in the best way possible. The ending gave me chills.
In my personal opinion, it was way different than other haunted house stories I’ve ever read. This book is so under-hyped. Thanks Meg Garcia!

There were quite a few grammatical errors. And I had a hard time with the dialogue and character dynamics. I think if it was properly edited and tweaked to make a little more sense it would be more enjoyable.

I'm only giving four stars because I wanted MORE!! This was a fun read and I'd enjoy this in movie form as well.

I really liked the premise. The author is a really bad speller, (torcher instead of torture, patients instead of patience, trans instead of trance) and does not write very realistic dialogue. The book definitely could have used some proofreading, especially considering how short it was.. Also, the title does not fit at all. I read in the acknowledgments that her husband came up with it, which is cute, but this book has nothing to do with DMs, social media, or anything even close. The title also makes it seem like the book will be cheeky/funny, which it is not at all. This author definitely has potential to be really great, she just has a bit of improving to do.
