I really liked reading this book. It was fascinating to see Annie's change from a woman who complains about everything and always seeking for validation from men. This is not a love story, but a story about female friendship and the general question what makes you happy and what are you afraid of. Also, I loved the cozy village which had Gilmore girls vibes, flavored with magical horror events. It is a very uncommon combination, but I enjoyed it very much. Also, I liked the fact that Annie is a very imperfect heroine with a lot of flaws. Sometimes I was a bit irritated by the behavior of Sophie, Annie's new best friend. Not letting Annie have a glance on her smartphone was a bit too much, even if this is for Annie's best. It should have been Annie's decision. But well, this shows how both characters are not perfect, full of flaws. I loved Ralph the spider as an animal side character! So funny and cute. Overall, the atmosphere was very cozy and a perfect autumn read paired with a pumpkin spice latte!
