My personal Rating-

{Due to a part where a beloved dog is injured, sensitive dog lovers might want to skip this one.}
While this book had my two favorite Camp Club Girls, Bailey and Kate, it wasn’t my favorite book due to a pet being injured (my worst fear as a dog mom). The mystery was interesting and I liked how Kate and Bailey tried to figure out the “ghosts” around the hotel since they don’t believe they are real.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
