The Ghost That Ate Us by Daniel Kraus / 3 stars

[Meli]

I was struggling with how to rate this book because overall I enjoyed it. I think the premise is clever, the execution is well done, and it's a unique concept I haven't really seen much. I landed on a 3-star kinda middle-of-the-road rating because I liked it but didn't love it, I won't likely read it again, and would only recommend to specific readers. I was mostly enjoying the story, but it felt like it went on just a smidge too long and I think some of the characters weren't fleshed out enough to be impactful. There were a few woman that were almost indistinguishable from each other.

If you want to read a fictional true crime story with both natural and supernatural elements then give this a spin!

Even though I didn't love this one, I love Kraus' writing style and his painstaking attention to detail. It has been enough to fake out readers into thinking it's an actual true crime story! I will definitely read more of his work.
