           I listened to this as an audiobook (just under 1 hour listened at 1.5 speed), and it was pretty good! I think since it was so short it lacked a bit of progression and backstory that could have filled it out just a bit more. That being said it was kind of a weird backstory that was finally given. I can't remember there being a reason for the curse to suddenly reactivate to such a degree, it DID just start out with a harmless prank. I don't think that, especially since the kids were literally being possessed, it warranted the kids from the period the story took place should have died like that, but that's just my opinion. Overall, a fun, short read.

Honestly, I'm only giving this two stars because I feel like there was potential with the plot to do more and I did think it was an interesting plot.
I borrowed the audiobook from my local library and it was honestly terrible. The narrator was so hard to listen to and made the characters sound so basic. The writing was honestly also very basic and there was no attempt to create a connection to the characters or the plot. 
Overall if I hadn't listened to this on audiobook I don't think I would have gotten through it.
