I liked this book a whole lot more than I anticipated. The beginning was slow but, the protagonist drew me in and made me stick with the story. As the book progressed, the plot picked up quickly and contained numerous twists and turns that I would have never predicted. The language painted vivid pictures in my mind of the house and its "unique" features. I wouldn't necessarily classify this book as scary but, if you want a thrilling spooky tale this is a good one.
