Too many twists no seeming relations. Ending was unsatisfactory to me.

I was disappointed. The writer left so many loose ends and threw in so many irrelevant things. It seemed like a bunch of thoughts thrown together but not entirely connected. I would not recommend this to anyone

This intrigued me for the first 50%, but quickly became redundant and mundane. I completed this story with no answers to my questions, and I feel tricked for seeing it through, hoping for at least one answer. This is about Eve and Charlie, along with their dog Shylo, as they recently moved into a lonely, eerie neighbourhood to start their new lives. The house was not as expensive as the other options presented to them, even though there were a lot of renovations to be made, they took the house anyway. This is where we met Thomas, Paige, and their kids, Kai, Newton, and Jenny. After Eve agreed to have Thomas tour his family home that is when the family lore began. I don't know what to do with all the information I learned from this something, it was not worth it in the end. (Short 'n Sweet version -> I got mind f*cked for no reason😃)
