This was an enjoyable read, there were a lot of things going on, the story starts out with an interesting and familiar premise of a family needing to stay in a house for 30 days to claim their inheritance. So, you go into it thinking that it will be one thing and then things get stranger and more complex and suddenly it feels you are in a very different sort of book. For some reason, this book didn’t hold my attention as much as I wanted it to, upon reflection it may be because there are a lot of details that need to be remembered and as I usually have a few different books in progress at the same time it did not get my full attention, although, to be fair, it didn’t demand my full attention like some books that are absolute page turners - I never really felt like I couldn’t put the book down. Overall I think it was a good book and I enjoyed it. I would check out other things by this author in the future.
