Play Nice

I loved this book and was completely invested. I was a little disappointed at the end I felt that there were several loose ends and some storylines wrapped quickly with little explanation or follow up that I would have loved. But overall this is an awesome book for Halloween time period and really wonderful writing.

Play Nice is a chilling and captivating paranormal horror novel that delves into family trauma, grief, and the haunting legacies we carry. Rachel Harrison weaves together an eerie tale that also touches on themes of influencer culture, the chaos of big-city life, Catholicism and exorcisms, and the complexities of mental health.

The story is both unsettling and compelling, laced with just the right amount of spice to keep the tension high and the pages turning. Harrison’s writing feels fresh, and the pacing makes the book difficult to put down.

Perfect for October’s spooky season, Play Nice delivers atmosphere, suspense, and emotional depth in equal measure. I highly recommend it to readers looking for a hauntingly good read.

I think this author is one I consistently enjoy. I love her writing style and I love how her stories stand as metaphors.

That being said, there were some genuinely creepy moments in this book. Parts where I kept asking, “Whyyyyyy? Why are you still in this house?” Then I had to remember the metaphor and how hard it is to outrun your inner demons, past trauma, etc.

I love it!

This is brilliant

I wasn't a fan of this one. I thought it was going to be about one thing, and it ended up being about something else.
