To the right of the book are 5 reviews, each with the reviewer’s icon. The top review from Kirkus says: “Horror, suspense, and family history collide with marvelously scary results.” The second review from School Library Journal says: “Packed with vivid and gruesome details, this book will appeal to mature readers who relish ghost stories and mysteries.” The third review from Publishers Weekly says: “It’s an ominous combination of paranormal suspense and complex mystery that centers grief, memory, and longing.” The fourth review from Booklist says: “Themes of grief, memory, and finding acceptance add heart to this authentically gothic tale. An immersive, shivery read and an impressive, haunting novel.” The bottom review from Horn Book says: “Equal parts eerie and heartfelt, Hossain’s novel weaves a tale of grief and connection that explores the ways loss can change people.” At the bottom is “Exclusive Interview” with an arrow pointing to: https://www.sarahsteinbacher.com/blog/interview-moniza-hossain
