WOW! This book! I don’t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn’t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It’s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You’ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.

This book was a little slower to build up momentum than I had expected, and in fact I almost put it down about a third of the way through. I’m so glad I didn’t, however, because from there things picked up with a vengeance! The ending is nothing short of awesome. This book really, really surprised me—overall it kind of has the feel of something like Burnt Offerings, if Burnt Offerings had been written by Grady Hendrix. Great book for spooky season; give it a read!

Alright chat, I finally finished it. Wow, it's honestly a great book and I love the relationship between the main characters and the ghosts in the story. A bit of a slow start for me BUT that twist tho was nice. Read this for book club btw
