"You can live with many, many things you find deplorable. Especially when there are rules."
This was such a perfect book to kick off the upcoming fall season. I had no clue what to expect from this but I felt like this just hit all the marks for me in a scary book. I am not easily scared especially while reading and this trend continues. But it could possibly be scary for someone else especially during one of the parts towards the end
Every September this house comes alive with those who once were there at the house. Margaret has made peace with the house and its antics but her husband Hal is tired of it, leaves and stops returning calls. Their daughter Katherine comes to visit and this makes Margaret nervous because of what the pranksters do. But Katherine needs to know what is going on with her dad and wants to figure out what her mom is hiding.
The relationship between Margaret and Katherine was very prominent throughout the book. Margaret struggled with keeping the antics of the house out of Katherine's way but the deeper into September they got, the harder it was to control.
"He's down there."
The book is told from the past and present timeline. We learn about the history of the house through Margaret's research that she told Hal about. We also learn about the abuse that Margaret had been inflicted on by her husband and their daughter saw it happening.
I really think this could work well as a movie or even a limited series. THere was so much happening at some point that I think visually could be really cool to see.
I thought this translated well to audio and I did not have any issue with following along. The narrator Kimberly Farr did such a great job especially with Margaret and made her sound very sane even though the things that were happening around her was not normal.
It is very hard to talk about the book without giving too much away!
