This book was so unsettling and had me in the edge of my seat while reading.
The atmosphere was tense and eerie, the writing compelling, and I kept wondering who I could trust, and what on earth was happening.
The house was such a creepy place, it made me so confused, suspicious, and weirded out, and I loved it!
However, I feel like this book answered nothing in the end! It could've ended 100 pages earlier, maybe even half a book earlier and we would've gotten as many answers to what was happening. Which was none.
I felt so frustrated upon finishing and while I had a great time reading it, it was with the assumption that I'd get at least some answers and things would become clearer but no.
I guess this ending works for some people but it really didn't for me, sadly.
