2.5 rounded up, This was my first Christine Lynn Herman, and honestly if might be my last. This book was objectively fine, but it was kind of boring for what a paranormal ghost story. The tone feels inconsistent with the book, and there's way too many plot lines that none of them feel satisfyingly resolved - especially the environmental impact of the plant. The romance felt forced, and all of the characters felt pretty one-dimensional and didn't show that much growth throughout the novel. The side characters of Kenny, Luisa, and Amy were some of the most enjoyable characters of the book and deserved more time. My favorite thing might have been the twist, which I admittedly did not see coming, so points for that! Thanks to the publishers for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.
